Abstract

An electrical connector with a connector part having a rectangular cross-section and a casing part. The casing part has a main body which comprises a contact region formed with a rectangular cross-section like a quiver-like case which receives and holds a contact. In order to create an electrical connector device which can be produced simply and cost-effectively and in which at the same time good transmission of current is ensured, the contact consists of a contact plate which is bent in a U shape about the middle region extending transverse to its longitudinal extension. Two contact arms are formed extending substantially spaced apart and parallel to each other, of which the free ends are connected to the mouth region of the contact region in order to fix the contact on the main body both in a form locking manner and in a materially bonded manner.
