  • Publication number: 20250062560
    Abstract: An electrical contact element for mating with a mating contact includes at least one elastically deflectable spring element which has at least one contact point for contacting the mating contact and is designed to generate a contact force acting on the mating contact during operation, at least one section made of a shape memory material being integrated into the at least one contact element, which can be transformed from a first into a second shape depending on the temperature, wherein the at least one contact point in the force-free state of the contact element is located in the first shape of the section made of a shape memory material at a first contact position and in the second shape of the section made of a shape memory material at a second contact position. The contact element is able to reliably hold a mating contact even under difficult environmental conditions, to provide a low contact resistance and to be easily mated with the mating contact.
