ABSTRACT:
The inventive contact socket serves to connect flat contact tongues as are used in plug-type connection devices for testing purposes, in particular in the manufacture of automobiles. The contact socket (1), which permits frequent plug-in cycles with small insertion forces being required, comprises a contact spring support with two bearing walls (2, 3) which are essentially parallel to one another. Said bearing walls (2, 3) are furnished on the inner side, preferably on both inner sides, with a respective row of contact springs (4) being curved such that a gap (5) opening elastically, with contact being established, when a flat contact tongue is inserted, is formed by the regions that are curved toward one another. The ends (6, 7) of each contact spring (4) are bent back toward one another on the outer side of the associated bearing wall (2, 3). The two bearing walls (2, 3) are interconnected via a transverse wall (12) determining their mutual spacing. A support wall (14) bordering the insertion gap (5) for the flat contact tongue is provided at the edges (13) of the bearing walls (2, 3) opposite the transverse wall (12).
