Claim:
1. An electrical connector, comprising: a contact element comprising a resiliently redirectable contact arm having a contact face, the contact element comprising side walls which cover the arms in a start position, wherein the contact arm extends to a displacement direction, a counter-element which can be displaced parallel to the contact arm upon insertion of a mating element, wherein the counter-element is displaced with respect to the start position (A) to a contact position (K) and the contact arm is thereby resiliently redirected transversely relative to a displacement direction (M) of the counter-element, and a counter-stop, coupled to the counter element which under the influence of the insertion of the mating element, moves the counter element, to deflect the contact arm; wherein the contact arm is positioned intermediate the counter-stop and the counter-element, the counter-element moving the contact arm towards the counter-stop when in the contact position (K).
