The invention relates to a plug contact (1) for electrically contacting a circuit board (2) by means of the insertion of the plug contact (1) into a contact hole (3) of the circuit board (2). The plugcontact comprises two contact legs (4, 5), which are resilient relative to each other, a connection region (6), and a connecting region (7), wherein the connecting region (7) connects the two contactlegs (4, 5) to one another and to the connection region (6) and the plug contact (1) is stamped from a flat metal material and is bent. The plug contact (1) according to the invention enables securecontacting, even in the case of a small material thickness of the flat material, in that the two contact legs (4, 5) each have a first section (4a, 5a) and a second section (4b, 5b) adjoining the first section in the insertion direction (E) of the plug contact (1), wherein the two contact legs (4, 5) are bent from the plane of the connecting region (7) such that the connecting region (7) and the first regions (4a, 5a) of the two contact legs (4, 5) adjoining the connecting region (7) together form a U-shaped contour, and that a contacting region (4c, 5c) that contacts the contact hole (3) in the inserted state is formed on each of the outer faces of the two sections (4b, 5b) of the two contact legs (4, 5), which outer faces face away from each other.
