Abstract
A plug-and-socket connection includes a socket part on a mother board and a plug part on a daughter board. The plug part comprises a plug housing axially displaceably mounted on a daughter board. A securing mechanism latches the socket part in a latched position. The plug housing, in the insertion direction, is directly or indirectly supported on a push element in the form of a leaf spring with an angled part. The spring force of this leaf spring maintains the support until reaching the latching position. With a continued pushing movement, the support is automatically released by yielding of the leaf spring. In this manner the daughter board, after reaching the latching position, may be decoupled from the mother board.
