Abstract: A contact is provided for latching in a contact chamber of a plug connection element. The contact has a contact box having an upper wall, a lower wall, and two opposing side walls. A primary locking lance protrudes resiliently diagonally outward from the upper wall. To protect the primary locking lance against harmful plastic deformations due to externally attacking forces, at least one of the side walls, in an area laterally adjoining the primary locking lance, is configured to protrude outward beyond a plane of the upper wall. An outside edge is bent toward the primary locking lance, so that it overlaps a side edge of the primary locking lance so that it counteracts outward bending of the primary locking lance in a form-locked manner.

Abstract: Unipolar or multipolar electrical plug connectors include contact carriers having contact chambers, into which contact elements can be inserted. These contact elements latch with so-called snap-on lances. In the present SYSTEM, the latching is produced by a part of the contact element with a snap-on lance, a smooth outer geometry of the contact element being present in the assembled state, but by latching of a non-resilient snap-on lance within the contact chamber. Consequently, the advantages of the snap-on lance locking mechanism unite with those of the clean-body construction.
