In a blade contact for electric plug connectors with a strip-like contact part, a supporting body securable on the plug casing, and with crimping attachments for securing an electrical conductor and its insulation jacket on the blade contact, the support is made safer while reducing the constructional expenditure, and the flow of current is enhanced by the arrangement of a sheet-metal blank cut to size with a substantially rectangular section extending across partial lengths of said blank for forming the contact part, and with a tab on each side projecting beyond the section of forming the contact part, as well as with tabs disposed in line with the section and projecting laterally beyond the latter for forming crimping attachments, and of which the tabs are bent back outward rearwardly, whereas the tabs for the crimping attachments are set obliquely outward.
