Contacting Plug-and-Socket Connection

Abstract

Disclosed is a contacting connector (53) comprising a contacting plug (25) and a contacting socket (97) which is assigned, preferably joined in a defined position, to a contact carrier (17), particularly a printed board (16). The contacting plug (25) is fitted with at least one contact element (58) while the contact carrier (17) is provided with at least one contact surface (127), preferably a land (126) or a strip conductor. A receiving direction (a) that corresponds to a plug-in direction is defined between the contacting plug (25) and the contact carrier (17) while the contact element (58) lies on the contact carrier (17) with a certain contact force (FK). The inventive contacting connector (53) is characterized in that the contact force (FK) is independent of a force (F) acting between the contacting socket (97) and the contact carrier (17).
