Abstract
A single-piece electrical contact element is provided, having a substantially cylindrical contact tube for resiliently receiving a contact pin. A contact tube main part extends over a substantial part of the contact tube length and a first circumferential sub-region of the contact tube circumference. At least one radially resilient spring arm, connected to one circumferential end of the contact tube main part extends over a second circumferential sub-region of the contact tube circumference. The spring arm projects radially outwardly in a first circumferential region adjacent to the contact tube main part and has a cylindrical free-standing circumferential end region.
