Abstract

The invention relates to a method (9) and an adjustment arrangement (2) for orientating contact pins (4) of an electric component (1) and to an electric component (1) having a plurality of contact pins (4). So as to be able to orientate the contact pins (4) as precisely and efficiently as possible along a contact contour (K) at least in portions and thus be able to fit the electric component (1) securely on a contact carrier, the invention provides that a plurality of contact pins (4) arranged along the contact contour (K) in advance are orientated simultaneously by a shaping body (3) to form the contact contour (K), the shaping body (3) being part of the adjustment arrangement (2).
