Abstract
A contact spring strip including a plurality of contact springs (F) held together in a chain-like manner. Each contact spring (F) includes a hat region (H). The hat region (H) when in the plugged-on state of the contact spring strip grips the head region (HK) of the retaining strip (HS). Each contact spring (F) also includes a spring leaf (FB) which, starting from the hat region (H) on the front (HA) of the retaining strip (HS) is spread away outwards at a bending edge (K). In addition, each contact spring (F) includes two latching claws (RK1 and RK2) which, starting from the hat region (H), are cut free at the front (HA) of the retaining strip (HS) at the bending edge (K) in a spread away outwards manner and situated on both sides next to the spring leaf (FB), and which respectively have a retaining lug (RF1 and RF2) which is spread away upwards in the direction of the head region (HK) and the front (HA) of the retaining strip (HS) and has a latching edge (RA1 and RA2). Further, each contact spring (F) includes a retaining leaf (HB) which, starting from the hat region (H), reaches onto the rear (HI) of the retaining strip (HS) and from which at least one retaining lug (RB) is cut …
