Abstract

Embodiments disclose an electrical contact including a metal housing and a fixed contact part, which is attached to the metal housing and has a contact surface that, during the attachment, is located within the metal housing, and a contact tab located outside the metal housing. The electrical contact includes a movable contact part, which can be inserted into the metal housing to form an electrical contact together with the contact surface of the fixed contact part. A cleaning system is provided in that at least one scraping edge is provided adjoining the contact surface, the movable contact part making contact with said scraping edge during insertion. A surface of the movable contact part passes over the scraping edge to remove possible dirt particles.
