CONTACT DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE CONTACT DEVICE

The invention relates to a contact device (10) and to a method for producing such a contact device (10), wherein the contact device (10) has a contact housing (15) and a contact element (20), wherein the contact housing (15) has a contact receptacle (25) and a latching receptacle (30), which opens out in the contact receptacle (25), wherein the contact element (20) has a contact body (45) and a latching spring (50), which is connected to the contact body (45) at a fixed end (65) and extends along a spring axis (70), wherein the contact body (45) is arranged in the contact receptacle (25) and is configured to make contact with a mating contact (56) of a mating contact device (57), wherein the latching spring (50) engages into the latching receptacle (30) at least in sections and has a stop face (90) at the free end (75), wherein the latching spring (50) has an embossed portion (105), wherein the embossed portion (105) is arranged at a predefined first distance (a) with respect to the stop face (90) of the latching spring (50), wherein a displacement of the contact element (20) in the contact receptacle (25) is at least partially blocked by the stop face bearing against a first receptacle side face (35) of the latching receptacle (30).
