1. Multi-pole plug-in connector having contact elements (16) which comprise a flat plug-in area (30) that transitions to a flat conduction area (18) the wide side (50) of which lies in a contact column plane (14), wherein the wide side (31) of the flat plug-in area (30) is rotated by a predefined angle (70) relative to the wide side (50) of the flat conduction area (l8);
wherein the plug-in area (30) comprises a spring element (34) having two spring legs (35, 36); and
wherein the cross-section of the spring legs (35, 36) diminishes substantially continuously, at least by sections, from a connection member (37) of the spring legs (35, 36) in a direction opposite to the plug-in direction (40).
