An electrical conductor includes a primary electrical contact, at least one secondary electrical contact, and a connection element. The connection element electrically connects the first and the at least one secondary electrical contacts, and includes at least one plate-like region. Each plate-like region includes at least one deflection component with at least one first and at least one second pivot, wherein the first and second pivots of each deflection means are arranged such that each secondary electrical contact is movable relative to the primary electrical contact in a deflection direction, without creation of a shear force.
