An electrical connector has contacting devices which establish electrical contact with contacting devices of external terminals. The contacting devices have contact faces formed thereon. The contact faces having a shape which enables substantially overlap-free connections with contact faces on the contacting devices of the external terminals. This reduces boundary planes which lead to signal reflection.

Electrical connector

An assembly for connecting a first printed circuit board with a second printed circuit board includes an electrical connector connected to one of a first and second printed circuit board. The electrical connector has a retaining mechanism for maintaining the electrical connector in a connected position. The assembly also includes an actuation aid having a first end oriented toward the electrical connector for actuating the retaining mechanism. The actuation aid also has a second end remote from the electrical connector accessible in a region outside the first and second printed circuit board. The first end actuates the retaining mechanism of the electrical connector when the second end is actuated.

An electrical connector assembly includes an electrical connector having a connected position and contacting devices in the electrical connector for electrically contacting terminals of devices external to the electrical connector. The assembly also includes devices for holding the electrical connector in the connected position while the contacting devices are electrically connected. Furthermore, the contacting devices and the devices for holding the electrical connector are spatially separate from one another. One embodiment of the electrical connector is for connecting first and second printed circuit boards.
