Abstract

The invention relates to an electrical pin contact, (1, 32, 56), having a connecting part (2) and a connector tongue (4) together with a locking part (3, 33, 57). A separate locking spring (14, 34, 58), is provided which is inserted into the locking part (3, 33, 57) perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the contact (1, 32, 56). Particularly simple mounting of the locking spring (14, 34, 48) is achieved in that the latter has latching means, which fix the locking spring (14, 34, 58) in position in the locking part (3, 33, 57) through insertion of the locking spring into the locking part (3, 33, 57).
