Abstract: The present invention relates to an elastic contact-connecting device. An elastic elevation 3 is applied to a carrier area 2 of a carrier 1. The elastic elevation 3 has a first oblique area 4, a second ramp 5 and a roof area 6. The first oblique area 4 has a lesser inclination (30) with regard to the carrier area 2 than the second oblique area 5. A contact region 20 is applied to the roof area 6 of the elastic elevation. The contact region 20 is connected to other structures 12 on the carrier 1 via a conductor track 10. For this purpose, the conductor track 10 is guided over the first oblique area 4. If a mating contact is pressed onto the contact region 20, the elastic elevation yields, but presses against the mating contact on account of its elastic property and thus enables a reliable contact. In this case, essentially only the second oblique area 5 is deformed; the first oblique area 4 and the conductor track 10 applied thereto are not subjected to any mechanical stress.
