Abstract

The invention relates to an electrical contact element for a connector comprising a metallic base body (111, 211) and a wear layer (113, 213) which is applied to the base body (111, 211). The wear layer (113, 213) is made from pure ruthenium or from an alloy with the following constituents 50 - 100 wt.-% ruthenium, 0 - 30 wt.-% nickel, 0 - 20 wt.-% chromium, 0 - 20 wt.-% cobalt, 0 - 20 wt.-% platinum and 0 - 1 wt,-% other alloy elements. A metallic intermediate layer (112, 212) is arranged between the base body (111, 211) and the wear layer (113, 213), the thickness (dm, dzn) being in the region of between 1.5pm - 4.0pm.
