The invention relates to a plug-in connection between a printed-board connector ( ) and a mating connector ( ), said printed-board connector ( ) being provided with a connector shield ( ). Between the printed-board connector and the mating connector an I/O board ( ) with an opening ( ) is interposed via which the printed-board connected and the mating connector can be contacted and fastened to each other. Since the printed-board connector is not screwed together with the I/O board according to the most recent standard, a support element is provided which forces the I/O board ( ) against the connector shield ( ) of the printed-board connector ( ) when the mating connector ( ) is screwed together with the printed-board connector ( ).

Plug-in connection

The heat-critical elements of the personal computer (PC) are arranged such with reference to air intake and air exit openings in the housing as well as with reference to cooling members attached laterally or, respectively, to the outside walls of the housing that an adequate and exclusively passive cooling is achieved by thermal conduction, convection and chimney effects. The device of the invention can be employed for cooling PCs, particularly in flat desktop structure.
