Abstract:
A contact means for conductor foils which comprise at least one conductor path (14), said contact means comprising a pressure element (16) which is provided with a projection (24) presenting a continuous pressure surface (25), and a counter pressure element (18) provided with a pressure recess (28), said pressure recess having a shape which is adapted to a shape of said pressure surface, said projection being prestressed elastically against said counter pressure element such that one of the conductor foils to be contacted is clamped between said pressure surface (25) and the edge of said pressure recess (28), said pressure element (16) being a resilient clip and including one end which is mounted on an insulating casing (30) and a free end at which said projection (24) is formed, said counter pressure element (18) being a contact tongue in which said recess (28) is punched out, said casing being provided with a casing recess (38) for a leaf spring (40) which is insertable afterwards and prestresses said projection (24) against said pressure recess (28).
