Switching contact for a vacuum switch, comprising a contact bar, a contact carrier which is connected to the contact bar, a contact disc which is connected to the contact carrier, and a supporting body which extends from the contact disc in the direction of the contact bar and/or of the contact carrier in such a way that sinking of the contact disc is prevented and/or reduced, and wherein the contact bar is electrically conductively connected to the contact carrier, wherein the contact disc is electrically conductively connected to the contact carrier, and wherein the supporting body is held in the position between the contact disc and the contact carrier or an additional supporting body (5, 8) either by the shaping of the contact disc and/or of the contact carrier and/or of the additional supporting body (5, 8) and/or by soldering, wherein the switching contact has an additional supporting body (5, 8) which - has the shape of a truncated cone or of a hollow truncated cone or of a partially hollow truncated cone, - the additional supporting body (5, 8) extends ∘ from a first location on the base of the contact carrier, which is located in the imaginary extension of the contact bar and within the contact carrier, ∘ to a second location which is located on that side of the contact disc which faces the contact carrier and is offset in relation to the first location to the outer edge of the contact disc, - wherein the additional supporting body (5, 8) is connected to the contact disc, and wherein - the additional supporting body (5, 8) is connected to the contact carrier, characterized in that the additional supporting body (5, 8) is of two-part design, and the truncated cone or hollow truncated cone or partially hollow truncated cone is formed by - a first additional supporting body which is soldered to the contact carrier, and - a second additional supporting body which is soldered to the contact disc, wherein the first additional supporting body and the second additional supporting body are soldered to one another. a contact carrier which is connected to the contact bar, a contact disc which is connected to the contact carrier, and a supporting body which extends from the contact disc in the direction of the contact bar and/or of the contact carrier in such a way that sinking of the contact disc is prevented and/or reduced, and wherein the contact bar is electrically conductively connected to the contact carrier, wherein the contact disc is electrically conductively connected to the contact carrier, and wherein the supporting body is held in the position between the contact disc and the contact carrier or an additional supporting body (5, 8) either by the shaping of the contact disc and/or of the contact carrier and/or of the additional supporting body (5, 8) and/or by soldering, wherein the switching contact has an additional supporting body (5, 8) which -
