Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft die Verbindung zweier elektrischer Baugruppen, wobei vorzugsweise die erste Baugruppe (5) in die zweite Baugruppe (2) eingeschoben wird. Bei einer eine Vielzahl von Steckkontakten aufweisenden Steckverbindung ist je nach Ausführungsart ein Versatz der zu verbindenden Gegenkontakten nicht vermeidbar.The invention relates to the connection of two electrical Assemblies, preferably the first assembly (5) in the second assembly (2) is inserted. With a variety of plug contacts having plug-in connection depends on Execution type an offset of the mating contacts to be connected not avoidable.

Um hier Abhilfe zu schaffen, schlägt die Erfindung einen Verbinder (8) vor, welcher ohne Verlust der elektrischen Kontaktgabe zu der ersten Baugruppe (5) in dieser schwimmend gelagert ist. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen beschäftigen sich mit dem vorteilhaften Aufbau dieses Verbinders (8) und Einzelheiten seiner Lagerung innerhalb der ersten Baugruppe (5).
