Abstract

Es wird ein Leiterplatten-Nullkraftsteckverbinder mit einem durch ein Betätigungsglied (8) betätigbaren Schwenkmechanismus (14), durch dessen Betätigung der Leiterplatten-Nullkraftsteckverbinder (1; 11-14) von einer das Einstecken oder Entfernen einer Leiterplatte (3) gestattenden Montagestellung in eine die Leiterplatte ordnungsgemäß kontaktierende Verbindungsstellung und/oder umgekehrt bringbar ist, beschrieben. Der beschriebene Leiterplatten-Nullkraftsteckverbinder zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß die durch das Betätigungsglied zu bewegenden Schwenkmechanismus-Teile (141, 146) zumindest teilweise Führungseinrichtungen (142, 147) aufweisen, die dazu ausgelegt sind, unter damit einhergehender Veränderung ihrer Stellung in oder an am Betätigungsglied vorgesehenen Führungseinrichtungen (821) entlang geführt zu werden.

Figure 00000001
It becomes a circuit board zero-force connector with a swivel mechanism (14) which can be actuated by an actuating element (8), by the actuation of which the circuit board zero-force connector (1; 11-14) moves from an assembly position which permits the insertion or removal of a circuit board (3) into a Circuit board properly contacting connection position and / or vice versa can be described. The described zero-force circuit board connector is characterized in that the swivel mechanism parts (141, 146) to be moved by the actuating element have at least partially guide devices (142, 147) which are designed to change their position in or on the associated with it Actuator provided guide devices (821) to be guided along.
