Abstract:
1. A press-fit contact for a plug-in connector or a conductor bar comprising: (a) a forward end; (b) a rear end; and (c) a press-in pin at said rear end comprising an outer circumferential surface having first and second projections and first and second recesses adjacent to the first and second projections, respectively, in a circumferential direction, and a slot disposed between said first and second projections, said slot having a first boundary face and a second boundary face disposed opposite to said first boundary face; wherein said first projection is disposed on the first boundary face and said second projection is disposed on the second boundary face so that said first projection faces said second projection in the circumferential direction; and wherein in a pressed-in condition the first and second projections are pressed toward the other so that the first projection resiliently engages the first recess and the second projection resiliently engages the second recess so that the projections and recesses in combination form elastic elements.
