Abstract: An electric contact device for an electrical connection of electroconductive connectors comprises a row of interconnected contact elements which are joined together by at least one continuous band-shaped or wire-shaped spring element. Each contact element is provided with at least one opening through which the spring element extends. The opening provides for fixing of the contact element which, in an unstressed condition, extends at an angle maximum 45.degree. relative to the plane of the spring element. Under the contact pressure, the spring element is deformed and takes a wave form, thus, producing a resilient force. This permits to assemble the device with larger tolerances for spacing between the contact elements. Preferably, the edges of the contact elements have a high electric conductivity.
