Contact device, electrical component unit, method, and use of a contact device in an electrical component unit
A contact device includes a first plug connector, which for forming a plug contact is pluggable onto a corresponding second plug connector of a first component, and comprising at least one first abutment section, which for forming a pressure contact is pressable against a second abutment section of a second component and/or of an additional element that is connectable to the second component. At least one spring section is provided between the first plug connector and the first abutment section and/or between a fastening section of the additional element and the second abutment section.
