The invention concerns a matrix connector comprising a first pair of plug-in connectors and a second pair of plug-in connectors, in which the first pair of plug-in connectors has a housing, in which at least one flexible printed circuit board with at least one array of contacts is designed, which is contacted with at least one second array of contacts, which is designed in the second pair of plug-in connectors.

Multipole matrix connector

A connector has a first male connector and a first female connector. The first male connector includes a male contact support that supports male contact elements, and the first female connector includes a female contact support that supports female contact elements. The first connector has tolerances in the direction of insertion. The first male contact elements of the first male contact support and the first female contact elements of the first female contact support are adapted to come into contact engagement at the time the first male connector and the first female connector are brought into contact engagement. At least one second connector is inserted into or integrated with the first connector, and the second connector includes a second male connector and a second female connector. The second male connector has a second male contact support adapted to support the second male contact elements, and the second female connector has a second female contact support which supports second female contact elements. The second connector has tolerances in the direction of insertion which are smaller than the tolerances of the first connector, and the second male contact support or the second female contact support are moveable in the direction of insertion.
