Abstract
A top spring of a bush contact encloses a base spring like an enclosing box. The top spring is a stamped and bent part with a production-dictated longitudinal slit in the top wall (extending in a plug-in direction). To form a stable, closed box form of the top spring, the slit top wall parts are provided with a connecting tab, respectively at either end of the longitudinal slit. The connecting tab is joined to the respectively opposite top wall part by form lock and/or by force lock.
