These legs are twisted into a position in which seen in cross section these legs extend obliquely outwardly before insertion of the contact pin in a hole. The legs are separated from each other by a slot and each solid contact pin portion is provided with a positioning element projecting from the corresponding solid contact pin portion into said slot and being displaced outwardly with respect to the solid contact pin portions.
