Electrical connector with a contact element and an additional spring element, the contact element having a contact zone formed by two contact legs and a bent spring area that applies a contact force to a mating contact element inserted into the contact zone, the additional spring element having two legs and a bridge which connects the legs. The contact force is increased by the additional spring element which is arranged relative to the contact element such that the stretching of the additional spring element is in the direction of the contact force.
