A latching system to establish a latching connection between a printed circuit board and an edge-contact plug, the latching system comprising:
- an add-on part, including a fastening surface for fastening the add-on part to the printed circuit board, and the add-on part including two retaining arms, each having a latch;
- and
- two mating latches being formed on the edge contact plug to establish the latching connection with each latch of the two retaining arms, the two mating latches each being formed as a set-back portion on two different outer sides of the edge-contact plug,
- wherein the latches of the two retaining arms of the add-on part are adapted to engage with the set-back portions on the outer sides of the edge-contact plug to establish the latching connection, and
- wherein the add-on part further includes terminals that connect to the edge-contact plug when the latching connection is established between the printed circuit board and the edge-contact plug.
