Patent number: 10680359Abstract: A plug contact for electrically contacting a printed circuit board by plugging the contact into a contact hole of the printed circuit board, has two contact limbs which are elastic relative to each other, a terminal region, and a connection region. The connection region connects the contact limbs together and to the terminal region, the plug contact being punched out of flat metal material and bent. The plug contact ensures multiple plugging and pulling cycles without the inner wall of the contact hole being damaged by each of the contact limbs being a contacting region which contacts the contact hole in the plugged-in state. The outer contour of each of the contact limbs is shaped as a segment of a circle in a cross-sectional view in the contacting region, the radius of the outer contour being smaller than the radius of the corresponding contact hole of the printed circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2017Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: PHOENIX CONTACT GMBH & CO.
