Abstract
A device for detachable electrical connection of a contact pin to a sheet metal component. According to this invention, a durable conducting connection of the contact pin to the sheet metal component may be achieved, whereby the sheet metal component has at least one perforation, in which a sleeve for a contact element is housed in an electrically-conducting manner, enclosing a spring element. The contact pin is housed in the sleeve by the spring element in the assembled position and the contact pin and the sleeve are electrically connected to the sheet metal component by the spring element. This arrangement has a particularly high current-carrying capacity as a result of the spring arrangement housed in the sleeve.
