Abstract
In order to separably connect an electric conductor (16) to a printed circuit board (2), it is proposed to insert a connecting element (1) into an opening (3) in the printed circuit board (2). In this case, a sleeve-like contact region (21) of the connecting element (1) is clamped against the inner surface (4) of the opening (3) by means of a clamping pin (7).
Claims9
An electric connecting element comprising:
- an electric contact;
- a housing;
- and
- a clamping pin,
- wherein the electric contact includes a sleeve-like contact region for inserting into an opening in a printed circuit board,
- wherein the clamping pin is insertable into the housing and the electric contact, whereby when the clamping pin is inserted into the electric contact and the sleeve-like contact region is inserted into the opening in the printed circuit board, the clamping pin radially clamps the electric contact against an inner surface of the opening of the printed circuit board, and
- wherein the electric contact includes a terminal region extended outwardly therefrom having a termination for connecting at least one electric conductor of a wire.
