A plug connector for insertion into a socket comprises a plug connector frame and a spring element. The plug connector frame has a side wall and a front opening receiving a cable head. The spring element is formed of a resilient material and electrically connects the cable head and the socket. The spring element has a first contacting portion projecting inward from the side wall and electrically contacting the cable head and a second contacting portion projecting outward from the side wall and electrically contacting the socket.

Plug connector

The invention relates to a plug-in connector () and a plug-in module system having a first contact casing () with a first receptacle () and a second contact casing () with a second receptacle (), the first receptacle () being designed to receive a socket contact () and the second receptacle () being designed to receive a plug contact (), the first receptacle () and the second receptacle () being formed identically.

Two components are connected to each other by least one screw and held a certain distance apart from each other by a spacer which is provided with a slot for the passage of the screw. A first component has a hole which is larger than the shaft of the screw, this hole being covered by a washer borne against by the head of the screw. Slots provided in the washer and in the spacer permit not only a two-dimensional change of position of the first component with respect to the shaft of the screw but also a two-dimensional change of position of the washer and the spacer with respect to the shaft of the screw. When the components are being aligned, the washer and the spacer can be rotated by means of fingers extending from the spacer and through holes in the washer in such a way that the washer and the spacer continue to be concentric to the central axis of the hole in the first component. When the screw is tightened, optimum transmission of force is achieved from the washer to the first component and from the first component to the spacer.
