The invention relates to a bus bar contact (100) for attachment to a bus bar (50), comprising a contact ring (10) with a contact surface (12) disposed at a distal end (19) for establishing electrical contact, and a fastening element (20) for mechanical fastening. The contact ring (10) can comprise a radially projecting press-in flange (16) with a cylindrical contact surface (13) pointing radially outwardly. Furthermore, the fastening element (20) and the contact ring (10) can comprise complementary press-on surfaces (15, 25) that taper in a direction opposite to a direction of connection (V). Moreover, methods of inserting a bus bar contact (100) into a bus bar (50) are shown.
