A screening connection device for a circuit board mounted within a housing possesses a plug component attached to the exterior of a housing wall by means of securing screws that may be coupled to a socket component mounted to the interior of the housing wall through a cutout in the wall. The plug component includes a screening connection in electrical contact with the securing screws to connect the shield of a cable connected to the plug component whose electrical lines may be connected to the circuit board via the plug component and the socket component. In order to provide contact elements between the securing screws of the plug component and the conductor on the circuit board provided to conduct the screen potential that are simple to manufacture, that provide positive contact, and that are robust components, screening plates are mountable so that they are fixed to the circuit board so that at least one conductor for connection of the screen potential may be brought into contact. Each of these screening plates includes a securing flange that rests against the interior side of the housing wall, and a threaded socket to engage one of the securing screws of the plug component.

Screen connector device for a circuit board mounted within a housing

An electrical connector for surface mounting on circuit boards has a housing and at least two contact elements, the contact elements each have a contact leg and a solder terminal leg arranged essentially perpendicularly to each other. The contact legs project into a receiving space in the housing and the solder terminal legs run along a first outer side of the housing. Both horizontal and vertical plug-in directions are obtainable by an end of the solder terminal legs being connected in one piece to a second solder terminal leg, the second solder terminal legs running perpendicular to the first solder terminal legs and parallel to the contact legs along a second outer side of the housing, and by at least one projection being provided on the side of the first solder terminal legs and/or the second solder terminal legs for making electrical contact with the circuit board.
