Abstract: An electric contact device provided with a composite annular contact member and a contact pin cooperating therewith. This contact member comprises a metal holder with a cavity and contained in the latter a circularly bent stack of V-folded contact plates and a stabilizing ring for said plates. Said ring extends through slots of all contact plates and said slots are formed in the narrower inwards extending parts of the contact plates. Said narrower plate parts are adapted to contact with their free contact edges the contact pin and the outwards extending broader parts of the contact plates are with their free contact edges in permanent contact with the holder.
