Abstract
A plug connector, especially for SMD plugs having plug-connector elements provided with shield plates which shield the electric contacts. The shield plates, in turn, in the coupled condition, bear against one another over substantially their entire area and are fixed with snap fastenings on the respective plug-connector elements. Soldering tabs extend beyond the plug-connector elements and are provided for electrically contacting the shield plates. Preferably SMD leads are formed on the shield plates.
Claims8
A plug connector for connecting electronic devices, comprising:
- a first plug-connector element;
- a second plug-connector element that engages said first plug-connector element to form a coupled position;
- a plurality of electrical signal conductors that provide electrical signal connections when said first plug-connector element and said second plug-connector element are in said coupled position;
- at least one bonding conductor formed when said first plug-connector element and said second plug-connector element are in said coupled position;
- at least one shield plate disposed on each said first plug-connector element and said second plug-connector element, wherein said at least one shield plate acts as an electrical shield and has a main plane;
- a plurality of snap fastenings disposed on said first plug-connector element, said second plug-connector element and said at least one shield plate, wherein said plurality of snap fastenings detachably connect said at least one shield plate to each said first plug-connector element and said second plug-connector element in a snap fastened condition;
- and
- soldering tags disposed on said shield plates, wherein said soldering tags project out of said first plug-connector element and said second plug-connector element when said shield plates are in said snap-fastened condition;
- wherein said at least one shield plate on each said first plug-connector element and said second plug-connector element bear against one another in a predominantly flush relationship when said first plug-connector element and said second plug-connector element are engaged in said coupled position.
