The invention is a line plug connector for transmitting electrical energy between a cable having a ground conductor and a center conductor, and printed circuit board. The cable end of plug connection is formed by a cable plug having an external conductive sleeve for connection to the ground conductor of the cable, and a center conductive sleeve for connection to the center conductor of the cable. The plug connects to least one elongated tab formed by a plurality of slots on a peripheral edge of the circuit board. In addition on the circuit board is a plurality of metal contacts formed over a portion of the circuit board adjacent to the slot openings. The connection is designed so that the spacing of the slots and the width of the tabs correspond with the width of the plug sleeves so that when the cable plug and its sleeves are pushed into the slots, the external sleeve is in frictional connection with at least one of the contacts on the circuit board, and the inner sleeve is connected to a different contact on the circuit board.
