Abstract

The invention relates to an electrical contact element made out of a stamped sheet metal part, a one-piece combination of an edgewise-wound spring element that is resilient about an axis lying perpendicular to the plane of the sheet metal with a leaf spring-like flat spring element that is connected to the edgewise-wound spring element and that is resilient about an axis lying in the plane of the sheet metal, the plane of the sheet metal of the flat spring element being oriented perpendicular to the plane of the sheet metal of the edgewise-wound spring element.
