ABSTRACT:
A contact strip for the electrical connection of at least one flat conductor of a flexible conductor film, which contact strip comprises a strip-type base part of electrically conducting material and at least one group of teeth projecting outwards from a surface of the base part, for cutting through the flexible conductor film and contacting the conductor while the teeth can be deformed in the direction of the base part to press the base part. According to the present invention the base part comprises at least a second group of teeth projecting outwards from the surface of the base part, in which the first and second group of teeth are positioned within the periphery of the strip-type base part. All teeth of a group are arranged in a closed peripheral line such as circle, ellipse, triangle, square or other geometrical polygon and the distance between these teeth is smaller than the smallest dimension of the flat conductor to be contacted. Each group of teeth preferably consists of four pointed, triangular teeth.
