Patent ID: 8702438

Claim:
An electrical plug connection element ( 1 ) having an elastically deformable contact member ( 16 ) with which the plug connection element ( 1 ) can be electrically connected when mated with an associated further plug connection element ( 2 ), characterized in that the plug connection element ( 1 ) has a ring-shaped clamping element ( 40 ) by means of which the contact member ( 16 ) and/or a separate spring ( 20 ), which supports the contact member ( 16 ) when contact is made, can be elastically deformed such that the force which is necessary when the plug connection element ( 1 ) is mated with the further plug connection element ( 2 ) is reduced, wherein the further plug connection element comprises a contact pin portion and a ring-shaped shoulder portion, and that the action of the ring-shaped clamping element ( 40 ) can be canceled by mating the plug connection element ( 1 ) with the further plug connection element ( 2 ) and as a result the contact member ( 16 ) can be brought into electrically connecting contact with the further plug connection element ( 2 ) with the provided contact force, wherein, when the contact pin is pushed through the ring-shaped clamping element, the ring-shaped shoulder portion contacts the clamping element, and wherein when the contact pin is pushed further, the ring-shaped clamping element is displaced within the electrical plug connection element such that the ring-shaped clamping element no longer prevents the contact member from radial inward movement.
