Abstract:
This invention concerns a bending tool (2a, 2b) for bending electrical pin contacts (3), with a bending side (25a) for transmitting a bending force to at least one pin contact (3). The invention also concerns a bending device (1) which receives the bending tool (2a, 2b), and a method for bending electrical pin contacts (3), wherein a bending tool (2a, 2b) is moved relative to a pin contact (3), and at a contact point (61) with the pin contact (3) introduces a bending force into the pin contact (3). To bend pin contacts (3) gently and to avoid abrasion of metallic particles from the pin contacts (3), according to the invention it is provided that the bending side (25a) is received movably on the bending tool (2a, 2b), and thus relative movements between the bending tool (2a, 2b) and the pin contact (3) in the contact point (61) are at least partly compensated for.
