ABSTRACT:
The contact element for electrical connectors, in particular for audio connectors, is stamped out of a starting material in sheet form. It has two fork-like legs having projections directed opposite one another at their free ends for the purpose of making contact diametrically with a contact element in the shape of a pin or strip which can be inserted between the fork-like legs. The contact-making boundary edges of the projections extend in a straight line. When the contact element is not loaded, these straight boundary edges enclose an acute angle with the center axis of the contact element, which acute angle corresponds to the deflecting angle of the legs when the pin-shaped or strip-shaped contact element is inserted. The portion of the contact element remote of the projections is constructed as a curve and a web leading to the terminal lug of the contact element adjoins the central portion of this curve. The contact element is substantially shaped like a tuning fork.
