Abstract
A contact spring has two contact arms which are connected at their respective source areas via a bridge and are intended for clamping in and making contact with the mating contact which is to be inserted in an insertion direction. The contact arms are arranged essentially pointing in the opposite direction to the insertion direction of the mating contact running toward one another, and curving away from one another on their free standing end areas. The contact spring has at least one first solder connection which is integrally formed directly on the bridge and faces in the opposite direction to the insertion direction of the mating contact.
