  • At least one further positioning projection is provided which is rigidly and integrally connected to the housing and projects beyond the bearing surface of the housing.
  • the direct plug connector according to the invention makes it possible to provide a latching device which is reliable, easy to operate, offers a secure hold and at the same time is easy to manufacture.

  • the locking arm can be operated in a particularly simple manner between two fingers of a human hand.
  • a height of the intermediate space between the support surface and a connection point at which the locking arm and the housing are connected to one another corresponds to at least half the height of the housing.
  • the locking arm is connected flexibly enough to be able to easily latch onto the circuit board and to be able to release the latching again without any problems.
  • the height of the intermediate space is advantageously between half and 9/10 of the height of the housing.
  • the resilient connection of the locking arm can be designed to be very mobile and easy to operate by hand.

  • the latching projection can be deflected by pushing it in until it has passed through a through opening in the printed circuit board and snaps behind the opening of the through opening. From this locked position, the housing can then be released again by manually deflecting the locking arm until the locking projection can again pass through the through opening in the printed circuit board.

  • the direct plug connector can be held in a predefined position on the printed circuit board, the fixing of the direct plug connector being effected in cooperation with the locking arm and the locking projection.
  • two positioning projections are provided so that the housing and thus the contact inserted into the through opening of the printed circuit board cannot be accidentally tilted, twisted and thereby damaged.
  • the housing has a locking arm on two opposite side surfaces.
  • Such an arrangement of the latching arms allows the two latching arms to be pressed onto the housing in a particularly simple manner and thereby unlatched from suitable through openings in the printed circuit boards.

  • the second housing part can be used to lay one or more cable strands.
  • cable strands to be placed are secured to an underside of the first housing part. If the first housing part is then pushed onto the second housing part, the cable strands are simultaneously pressed into insulation displacement contacts in the second housing part. When connected to a circuit board, the first housing part then ensures that both housing parts and the contacts are secured to the circuit board.
  • a direct plug connection with at least one direct plug connector according to the invention and a printed circuit board, the printed circuit board having at least one first through opening which is electrically conductive on the inner wall for inserting the contact and at least one second through opening for inserting the latching projection and / or one Has positioning projection of the housing.

  • Fig. 1 shows a direct connector 10 according to a first embodiment of the invention.
  • the direct connector 10 has a housing 12 and a contact 14 arranged in sections in the housing.
  • the contact 14 is connected to the housing 12 within the latter.
  • the contact 14 is designed as a so-called direct plug contact or SKEDD contact.
  • the two spring arms of the contact 14 which protrude on the underside of the housing 12 can move resiliently towards and away from one another. Such a spring movement is required when the contact 14 is inserted into an electrically conductive through opening of a printed circuit board on the inner wall.
  • the contact 14 In and against the direction of insertion, in Fig. 1 So from top to bottom or from bottom to top, the contact 14 is fixed relative to the housing 12.
  • the contact 14 has an in Fig. 1 invisible connection end to which a cable strand can be connected.
  • Such a connection end can be designed, for example, as an insulation displacement contact or also as a crimp contact or in some other suitable manner.
  • the housing is provided with two positioning projections 16, 18 in the form of at the top frustoconical, but otherwise cylindrical pins provided over the underside of the housing 12, which simultaneously forms the bearing surface on a circuit board.

  • the positioning pins 16, 18 are cylindrical except for their frustoconical insertion, they cannot prevent the housing 12 from being pulled off the circuit board.
  • a locking arm 20 is provided, which is connected in an elastic, resilient manner and in one piece to the housing 12 and at its free end, which in Fig. 1 is arranged below the bearing surface 22 of the housing 12, is provided with a locking projection 24.
  • the latching arm 20 is separated from the housing by an intermediate space 26 extending upwards from the support surface 22.
  • the intermediate space 26 extends in a straight line and perpendicular to the support surface 22, that is also perpendicular to a printed circuit board onto which the direct plug connector 10 is plugged.

  • the locking arm 20 can be pressed resiliently towards the housing 12 and then automatically springs back into the in Fig. 1 shown location.
  • the width of the intermediate space 26 is reduced.
  • the arcuate end 30 of the intermediate space 26 prevents the occurrence of notch stresses in the area of the connection point 28 and thus destruction or weakening of the material in the area of the connection point 28 a design of the arc shape or a shifting of the end 30 upwards, a spring rate between the locking arm 20 and the housing 12 can be set.
  • the locking projection 24 is provided with a run-on bevel 32 which is arranged such that the locking projection 24 and thus also the locking arm 20 are pressed in the direction of the housing 12 when inserted into a suitable through opening of a printed circuit board Fig. 1 so to the left behind. This displacement movement continues until the locking projection 24 is pushed completely through the circuit board and snaps with its undercut 34 behind the underside of the circuit board.
  • Fig. 2 This state is in Fig. 2 shown.
  • the undercut 34 of the locking projection 24 is now arranged opposite the underside of the printed circuit board 36 and thereby prevents the direct plug connector 10 in Fig. 2 is withdrawn upward from the circuit board 36.
  • the contact 14 is arranged in a through opening of the printed circuit board 36, which is designed to be electrically conductive on its inner wall and which is electrically connected to conductor tracks (not shown) on or within the printed circuit board 36.

  • the positioning pins 16, 18 in the through openings of the printed circuit board 36 then prevent the housing 12 from escaping.
  • the housing 12 can also be taken between two fingers of a human hand. If the fingers are then pressed towards one another, the latch arm 20 is pressed in the direction of the housing 12. This means that the locking projection 24 is again arranged below the through opening in the printed circuit board 36, into which it was inserted.
  • the undercut 34 is thus no longer opposite the underside of the circuit board 36, but below the through opening. In this compressed position of the locking arm 20 and the housing 12, the direct connector 10 can then be pulled up again from the printed circuit board 36.
