1. A connection element for electrically connecting a circuit carrier to another circuit carrier,
wherein the connection element has a solder connection for soldering onto a surface of the circuit carrier and a THT connection, which is electrically connected to the solder connection for inserting into the other circuit carrier,
wherein the connection element has a holding body and a contact element which is connected to the holding body and which is configured to be elastic, wherein the contact element has the solder connection on an end section, and the connection element has a locking element -which is connected to the connection element in a movable manner back and forth between a locking position and a release position, which locking element is configured to limit a displacement of the contact element in the locking position and release an elastic movement of the contact element in the release position,
wherein the locking element is formed by a frame enclosing the holding body, which frame is configured to encompass and hold a longitudinal section of the contact element in the locking position.
