Abstract
A plug connector set-up for a control unit includes: a pin support having a pin; and a guide element having a lead-through for positioning the pin at a circuit board of the control unit. The lead-through has an entrance opening on the side facing the pin support and an outlet opening on the side facing away from the pin support. A diameter of the entrance opening is greater than a diameter of the outlet opening. The pin includes a centering region having a diameter which is less than the diameter of the entrance opening and greater than the diameter of the outlet opening.

A plug connector set-up for a control unit, comprising:
- a pin support having a pin;
- and
- a guide element having a lead-through for positioning the pin on a circuit board of the control unit;
- wherein the lead-through has an entrance opening on a side facing the pin support and an outlet opening on a side facing away from the pin support, a diameter of the entrance opening being greater than a diameter of the outlet opening, and wherein the pin includes a centering region having a diameter less than the diameter of the entrance opening and greater than the diameter of the outlet opening, and wherein the centering region is in the form of a protuberance on the pin so as to concentrate the alignment function of the pin on this region, so that the alignment of the pin in all three spatial directions is optimized.
A method for manufacturing a plug connector set-up, the method comprising:
- providing a pin support having a pin;
- providing a guide element having a lead-through for positioning the pin on a circuit board;
- providing the lead-through with an entrance opening on a side facing the pin support and an outlet opening on a side facing away from the pin support, wherein a diameter of the entrance opening being greater than a diameter of the outlet opening;
- and
- providing a centering region on the pin, a diameter of the centering region being less than the diameter of the entrance opening and greater than the diameter of the outlet opening;
- wherein the centering region is in the form of a protuberance on the pin so as to concentrate the alignment function of the pin on this region, so that the alignment of the pin in all three spatial directions is optimized.
