Abstract

Es wird ein Leiterplatten-Nullkraftsteckverbinder mit einem Gehäuse (10) und zwei in diesem untergebrachten, zueinander hin und voneinander weg schwenkbaren Verbinderhälften (11, 12) beschrieben, wobei die Verbinderhälften in einer voneinander weggeschwenkten Montagestellung das Einstecken einer der miteinander in Verbindung zu bringenden Leiterplatten (2, 3) gestatten und in einer zueinander hin geschwenkten Verbindungsstellung die eingesteckte Leiterplatte (2) kontaktieren. Der beschriebene Leiterplatten-Nullkraftsteckverbinder zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß jede der Verbinderhälften aus einer Vielzahl aneinandergereihter Verbinderhälften-Module (110-1, 110-2) besteht.

Figure 00000001
A zero-force printed circuit board connector is described with a housing (10) and two connector halves (11, 12) accommodated therein, which can be pivoted towards and away from each other, the connector halves in an assembly position pivoted away from each other, the insertion of one of the circuit boards to be connected to one another Allow (2, 3) and contact the inserted circuit board (2) in a pivoted connection position. The circuit board zero-force connector described is characterized in that each of the connector halves consists of a plurality of connector half-modules (110-1, 110-2) arranged in a row.
