In order to simplify mounting and cabling of optoelectronic plug connectors (') and—equipped therewith—subdistribution units () and subdistribution systems, the use of special module housings () is proposed. The latter can accommodate a plurality of, in particular eight, identical and/or different optoelectronic transducers (′) and are installed in the plug connectors (′) between the electrical plug contacts () and the multi-core optical cables (), i.e. the cores () thereof. Susceptibility to errors is considerably improved as a result and mounting is significantly simplified as a result of the improved clarity.

Optoelectronic module, optoelectronic plug connector and optoelectronic sub-distribution unit

A board-edge plug connector establishes an electrical connection between at least one electrical conductor and at least one printed circuit board. The board-edge plug connector has a housing which accommodates at least one contact element and has at least one cavity which receives both the conductor and also the printed circuit board at least partially in the housing. The contact element both encloses and makes contact with the printed circuit board in a spring-elastic manner and also clamps the conductor against the housing and makes contact with it in a spring-elastic manner.

Board-edge plug connector

A contact element for establishing electrical contact between a first and a second printed circuit board is provided. The contact element has a fastening region for fastening to the first printed circuit board and a plug section for a plug connection to the second printed circuit board. The plug section has at least two contact arms which are electrically conductively connected to one another. A method for assembling a printed circuit board arrangement is also provided.
