Plug-in connector for a printed circuit board

Abstract

The invention relates to a plug-in connector (1) for printed circuit boards, comprising a two-part housing and a number of contact elements (10), each of the latter (10) having two connection sides. One connection side is designed as a contact for connecting leads and the other connection side is designed as a plug-in contact for a printed circuit board. In addition, the contact element (10) has an interface, which is used to connect overvoltage protection elements. According to the invention, the first housing part (2) is designed with recesses (20, 21), into which double-pole surge voltage protectors (24) are inserted, the contact element (10) has a contact surface (13) that is designed as an interface to a surge voltage protector (24) and projects into the recess (20, 21), contacting a first pole of the surge voltage protector (24). The other pole of the surge voltage protector (24) is contacted by a grounding element.
