Abstract

A flat plug includes a base body having a first and a second end, a terminal part integrally connected to the first end of the base body, and a contact blade having two blade halves integrally connected to the second end of the base body. The two blade halves have a broad side, an outer contour and a longitudinal axis. The blade halves are mutually symmetrical about the longitudinal axis with respect to the outer contour. Additionally, the broad side of the two blade halves rest flat against one another in a folded state, whereas the two blade halves are spaced apart from one another along the longitudinal axis in an unfolded state.
