Abstract
The invention relates to a plug-in connector () comprising at least one contact element (), extending in a longitudinal direction () of the plug-in connector, which in the fitted condition of the plug-in connector () on a printed circuit board () extends at least approximately in parallel to the plane () of the circuit board (). The plug-in connector () according to the invention is characterized in that the contact slot/the contact pin () of the contact element () has a predefined transverse extension () in at least approximately the longitudinal direction () of the plug-in connector and that the plug-in direction () of the contact slot/contact pin () is oriented at least approximately vertically to the plane () of the circuit board (). Accordingly, a mating plug-in connector () engages the plug-in connector () laterally as it is mounted. The plug-in connector () according to the invention allows tolerances to be compensated between the printed circuit boards () in the longitudinal direction () of the plug-in connector, in the transverse direction () of the plug-in connector and in the plug-in direction (). The plug-in connector according to the invention () is suited especially for mezzanine applications.
