Abstract
The invention relates to a plug connector device for telecommunication and data systems, comprising a plug connector 1 and a connector bank 30. The connector bank 30 is formed of a housing with insulation displacement contacts 31 connected each to switching contacts 6. The plug connector 1 comprises a housing 2 with a connector tongue 4 supported therein and has contact tracks 5 on either side which can be inserted between two switching contacts 5 opposed to each other of the connector bank 30. The exterior distance B of two contact tracks 5 being smaller than the interior distance A between two stitching contacts 6. The plug connector 1 is provided such that there is no abrasion between the contact tracks 5 of the plug connector 1 and the switching contacts 5 of the connector bank 30 during the insert procedure. After the insert procedure, a contact connection with a sufficiently high contact force is established between the contact tracks 5 and the switching contacts 6. The contact tracks 5 of the plug connector 1 are formed as free contact strips 7 supported in the housing 2. The connector tongue 4 is mounted slidably in the housing 2 and is movable between the contacts strips 7, such that the contact strips 7 can be spread in the direction of the switching contacts 6 for establishing a contact connection.
