Abstract
The connecting coupler for a printed-circuit board is inserted in two housings (3, 4) made of electrically insulating material of connectors placed one on each side of the printed-circuit board (1) and each bearing a contact member (5, 6), each contact member (5, 6) comprises an internal cavity (7, 8) open to that face of the insulating housing (3, 4) that rests against the printed-circuit board (1). The coupler further comprises a contact piece (9) in the shape of a rod, the opposite ends of which can engage in the respective cavities (7, 8) of the two contact members (5, 6), while the central part (10) of this contact piece (9) is forcibly inserted into a hole (11) in the printed-circuit board (1). This coupler allows couplings to printed-circuit boards of varying thickness.
