Abstract
The invention relates to an electrical plug connection element (1) having a contact member (16) which can be deformed in a spring-elastic manner and to which the plug connection element (1) can be electrically connected when it is plug-connected to a further plug connection element (2), characterized in that the plug connection element (1) has a clamping element (40) by means of which the contact member (16) and/or a separate spring (20) which supports the contact member (16) when contact is made can be deformed in a spring-elastic manner in such a way that the force which is required to plug-connect the plug connection element (1) to the further plug connection element (2) is reduced, and in that the action of the clamping element (40) can be removed by the plug connection element (1) being plug-connected to the further plug connection element (2), and as a result the contact member (16) can be brought into contact with the further plug connection element (2) so as to establish an electrical connection by way of the provided contact force.
