Abstract
A plug contact is provided which comprises a first pin connected to two contact plates arranged parallel to one another. The contact plates are also connected to two further pins which are arranged on a side of the contact plates opposed to the first pin. The three pins are arranged parallel to one another. The two contact plates are connected by connecting elements to the two further pins which are arranged in the region of the connection of the first pin and are guided via a 180° bend to the two further pins. The two contact plates comprise reciprocally associated notches between which a contact region is formed for contacting a contact pin. Owing to the selected geometry it is possible to introduce a contact pin from different directions into the contact region and retain the contact pin.
