Abstract

Steckverbinder (1), insbesondere Leiterplatten-Steckverbinder, mit
e) einem ersten Steckverbinderteil (2) und einem zweiten Steckverbinderteil (3), wobei das eine der Steckverbinderteile vorzugsweise ein Buchsenteil und das andere der Steckverbinderteile vorzugsweise ein Stiftteil ist,
f) sowie mit mindestens einer Verriegelungsvorrichtung (4), welche in einer Verriegelungsstellung die beiden miteinander gekuppelten Steckverbinderteile (2, 3) gegen unbeabsichtigtes Lösen sichert und die in eine Haltevorrichtung des zweiten Steckverbinderteils (3) beweglich, insbesondere verschiebbar ist,
g) wobei die Steckverbinderteile (2, 3) jeweils mehrere vorzugsweise in wenigstens einer Reihe angeordnete, miteinander zu verbindende Kontakte im Bereich ihrer Steckgesichter aufweisen,

dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass
h) die Verriegelungsvorrichtung und die Haltevorrichtung in der wenigstens einen Reihe der miteinander zu verbindenden Kontakte jeweils zwischen zweien der Kontakte angeordnet ist.

Connector (1), in particular printed circuit board connector, with
e) a first connector part (2) and a second connector part (3), wherein one of the connector parts is preferably a female part and the other of the connector parts is preferably a pin part,
f) and at least one locking device (4) which secures the two mutually coupled connector parts (2, 3) against unintentional release in a locking position and which is movable, in particular displaceable, in a holding device of the second connector part (3),
g) wherein the connector parts (2, 3) each have a plurality of preferably arranged in at least one row, to be interconnected contacts in the region of their mating faces,

characterized in that
h) the locking device and the holding device is arranged in the at least one row of the contacts to be connected to each other between two of the contacts.
