ABSTRACT:
A connection contact in a single piece has two insulation displacement contacts (14) having each an insulation displacement slot (16), a contact and guiding surface (20) and a shearing element. The connection contact further has two contact legs (22, 23) one end of which is connected to an insulation displacement contact (14), a home contact formed between the free ends of the contact legs and a section (27) that links the insulation displacement contacts (14). The disclosed connection contact in a single piece is characterized in that the linking section (27) is designed as a substantially U-shaped loop (28). As lead-shearing element, an insulation displacement contact (14) is associated to each leg (30) of the U- or V-shaped loop (28), so that the contact pressure between the contact legs of the home contact can be easily adjusted as desired. A fatigue-proof home contact is thus obtained, which is also economical to produce.
