Abstract

For an electrical plug connector with one-piece contact elements which are disposed in contact chambers and have spring legs with an embossed contour which are disposed in a mirror-inverted manner, it is proposed that the spring legs be constructed in such a way that they are at a distance from the contact chamber walls when the contact elements are inserted in the contact chambers, the spring legs being deflected in such a way, when a contact pin is inserted in the contact elements, that the said spring legs are supported on the contact chamber walls.
