Abstract
A receiving device for component parts, such as electric assemblies, is connected directly to a circuit board. The weight of the electric assembly is carried by a supporting device on contacting the circuit board. A connector which is part of the electric assembly or one of its components is flexibly disposed with respect to a socket of the circuit board, so that the production tolerances can be compensated without problem and a plug-in connection can be achieved between the connector and the socket without the weight of the electric components placing a load on the plug-in connection.
