Abstract
The invention relates to a plug-in connector (1) for circuit boards (40), comprising a number of contact elements (30). Each contact element (30) is fitted with two terminal ends, one of which is designed as a wire-connecting contact for connecting wires while the other terminal end is designed as a tuning fork contact (31) for contacting terminal areas on a circuit board (40). The plug-in connector (1) further comprises a plastic housing inside which the contact elements (30) are arranged. The wire-connecting contacts can be connected from outside and are designed as wire-wrap contacts (32) which are disposed in at least two rows. The wire-wrap contacts (32) of the different rows are offset relative to one another.
Claims6
A plug-in connector for printed circuit boards, comprising:
- a number of contact elements, the contact elements each having two connection sides, one connection side defining a wire connection contact for connecting wires, and the other connection side defining a fork contact for making contact with connecting pads on a printed circuit board, each fork contact having a first side at which the wire connection contact connects and an opposite second side at which a stop edge is formed, and
- a plastic housing in which the contact elements are arranged so that the wire connection contacts are accessible from outside the housing, the housing including a first housing piece that is configured to latch to a second housing piece,
- wherein the wire connection contacts are in the form of wire wrap contacts, which are arranged in at least two rows, the wire wrap contacts of the different rows being arranged such that the wire wrap contacts are offset with respect to one another.
