Abstract

Eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zum Kontaktieren einer Leiterplatte (1) mittels eines Steckverbinders, wobei die Leiterplatte (1) Kontaktpads (4a,...) aufweist und der Steckverbinder (6) korrespondierende Kontakte (9a, ...), zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass die Kontakte (9a,..) des Steckverbinders als federnde Kontakte (9a, ...) ausgelegt sind und dass der Steckverbinder (6) derart an der Leiterplatte (1) durch eine reine Aufrastbewegung festlegbar ist, dass seine federnden Kontakte (9a,...) mit federnder Vorspannung die Kontaktpads (4a, ...) der Leiterplatte (1) kontaktieren (Fig. 2)

Figure imgaf001
A device and a method for contacting a printed circuit board (1) by means of a connector, wherein the printed circuit board (1) contact pads (4a, ...) and the connector (6) corresponding contacts (9a, ...) are characterized from that the contacts (9a, ..) of the connector as resilient contacts (9a, ...) are designed and that the connector (6) on the circuit board (1) can be fixed by a pure Aufrastbewegung that its resilient contacts (9a, ...) with resilient bias contact the contact pads (4a, ...) of the printed circuit board (1) contact (Fig. 2)
