Abstract
In order to produce a circuit board plug connector in which the advantages of hermaphroditic plug connectors are combined with the advantages of conventional plug connectors, a contact carrier is equipped with both plug contacts of a first type and plug contacts of a second type in equal numbers. Advantageously, the plug contacts of the first type are designed as 'male' contacts (blade contacts) and the plug contacts of the second type are designed as “female” contacts (fork contacts) and can be plugged into one another in principle.
