Abstract

An electrical contact receives a corresponding contact blade. The electrical contact has contact arms for contacting the contact blade and contact pins for contacting a circuit board. A lateral frame is attached to the contact arms and has a substantially rectangular cross-section. The contact pins are connected to the contact arms by a transition piece. The transition piece is formed substantially parallel to the circuit board and has a bend that separates the contact arms from the contact pins.
