Abstract

The present invention concerns a socket contact (1) for electrical connectors, having a box-shaped sheet-metal frame (3) and four contact elements (5, 6) incorporated therein as well as a connection part for cables, which adjoins the sheet-metal frame. In this case, the sheet-metal frame has, seen in the direction of insertion, a front frame part (7). The latter comprises two parts which have two sides respectively joined together via an edge, of which sides those lying respectively opposite one another are either joined via a first contact element (5) to the rear frame part (8) or respectively have a second contact element (6) with a free head end (9), which extends in the direction of the rear frame part.
