The present invention relates to an edge connector () for a printed circuit board (), comprising an at least two-part housing () with a first housing part () and a second housing part (), wherein the first housing part () has a recess () in which at least one conductor () is arranged, said at least one conductor () having a first limb () with a first end () and a second limb () with a second end (), wherein the housing () comprises a first region () in a first plane (), in which each first end () protrudes out of the housing () in an assembly direction () in order to connect to a conductor track () of the printed circuit board (), and the housing () has a second region () in a second plane () which is arranged parallel and at a distance to the first plane () in the assembly direction (), wherein the second limb () is arranged at an angle of 90° to the first limb (), and the second limb () protrudes into a mating plug recess () in the second housing part () in a plug-in direction (). The present invention additionally relates to a printed circuit board assembly () with at least one such edge connector.

Edge connector and printed circuit board assembly

The application provides an antenna element comprising a circuit board with a transmission line, the transmission line comprising at least a first conductor and a second conductor, a separate 3-dimensional, metallic or metallized ring-shaped structure mounted on a surface of the circuit board, a first galvanic contact between the first conductor and a first part of the separate 3-dimensional, metallic ring-shaped structure, and a second galvanic contact between the second conductor and a second part of the separate 3-dimensional, metallic ring-shaped structure, wherein at least one of the first galvanic contact and the second galvanic contact comprises at least two substantially L-shaped sections and an antenna array comprising several such antenna elements.

Antenna element

A connector includes a plug connector and a mating connector. The plug connector includes a housing with an open front end, an insulated inner conductor disposed within the housing, a clamping sleeve, and an axially movable sliding sleeve disposed radially outside the clamping sleeve. The sliding sleeve can be positioned in a working position where it surrounds the clamping sleeve and exerts a radially inward-directed force. The mating connector, which is receivable within the housing, includes a clamping surface. A force Fintroduced radially from the sliding sleeve toward the clamping sleeve when the sliding sleeve is in the working position, is redirected by the clamping sleeve into an axial force component Fwhich is introduced from the clamping sleeve toward the clamping surface.
