1. A plug contact stamped from a strip of sheet metal, the plug contact comprising:
cut edges and rolled sides;
a clamping section configured to fix the plug contact in a contact carrier;
a contact fork formed by two spring elastic contact arms forming a receiving cavity between each other and including cut edges that are oriented towards each other,
wherein a first end of the two spring elastic contact arms respectively originates from the clamping section and a second end of the two spring elastic contact arms respectively forms a contact bud,
wherein the two spring elastic contact arms include rolled sides that are oriented towards each other and produced by forming the second end of the spring elastic contact arms respectively,
wherein the rolled sides of the clamping section and of the two spring elastic contact arms that are oriented parallel to each other are arranged in a common plane;
a stop formed by a cut edge of the clamping section and oriented towards the receiving cavity, a separation line centrally arranged between the contact buds that divides the receiving cavity vertically in a direction of the clamping section, and
wherein the clamping section includes a relief cut in an origin portion of the two spring elastic contact arms, so that the stop protrudes into the receiving cavity in a direction towards the contact buds;
wherein each contact arm of the two spring elastic contact arms includes a cut out in an origin portion of the contact arm, and
wherein the cut out reduces a contact arm width measured along the rolled side and orthogonal to the separation line.
