Abstract
A printed circuit board connector includes contact elements for electrically connecting contacts of at least two electrical printed circuit boards, and retaining devices retaining the contact elements in an intended position inside the printed circuit board connector. The contact elements and the retaining devices are constructed and/or disposed in such a way as to cause forces exerted upon the retaining devices by and/or through the contact elements to at least partly cancel one another out in the region of the retaining devices.
