The invention relates to an electric shielding contact (100), preferably mini-coaxial shielding contact (100) for an electrical contact device (10) and/or an electrical cable (40), in particular an electrical copper (40) and/or aluminium cable (40) for the automotive industry, wherein in a first aspect the shielding contact (100) is formed mainly in a hollow cylindrical manner and comprises at least a front contact section (110) for electrically contacting an electric counter contact and a rear crimping section (130) for crimping the shielding contact (100) on/at the electrical cable (40), and in at least a rear portion (131) of the crimping section (130), the crimping section (130) gapes from a material of the shielding contact (100), wherein the crimping section (130) is constructed in such a way that during a crimping process the gaping opening (133) in the shielding contact (100) can be closed to become a slit (134). Furthermore, the invention relates to an electrical contact device, preferably an electrical mini-contact device for an electrical cable, in particular an electrical coaxial cable for the automotive industry, comprising an electric contact means, wherein the contact device further comprises an inventive electric shielding contact (100).
