Plug-in connector for a printed circuit board

A plug-type connector for printed circuit boards, comprising:

• a two-part housing and a number of contact elements, the contact elements each having two connection sides, a first of the connection sides being formed as a contact for connecting wires and a second of the connection sides being formed as a plug-in contact for a printed circuit board, each contact element further having an interface, via which surge protection elements can be connected,
• wherein a first housing part is formed with receptacles into which two-pole surge arresters are inserted, wherein each contact element has a contact face, which is in the form of an interface for one of the surge arresters and which protrudes into the receptacle and makes contact with a first pole of the surge arrester, contact being made with a second pole of the surge arrester by a ground element;
• and
• wherein in each case two receptacles are arranged in a transverse direction of the housing, which receptacles are separated by a common wall.

• wherein the contact elements are structured differently;
• and
• wherein the contact face of each contact element is bent back from the contact for the printed circuit board, the bends in the contact faces being bent back in opposition to one another.
