Pin contact element and electronics housing

Abstract

The invention describes a pin contact element () having a contact support () which is composed of insulating material and having at least two pin contacts () which are installed in the contact support (). The pin contact element () is intended to be installed in an electronics device housing () and to be connected to a printed circuit board. The pin contacts () project from a platform () of the contact support () in order to receive a spring-force plug connector () by way of a straight contact section (). The contact sections () of the pin contacts () are surrounded in a fixing region () of the platform () by the contact support () and the pin contacts () are secured in the contact support () in the fixing region. At least one of the pin contacts () is routed past at least one further pin contact () of the same pin contact element () such that it adjoins the straight contact section () by way of at least two angled portions (). At least two pin contacts () are arranged with their straight contact sections () in a row next to one another. The opposite free ends () of these pin contacts (), which free ends are intended to be connected to a printed circuit board, extend parallel to the direction (R) in which the straight contact sections () are lined up next to one another in at least one row, and project laterally out of the contact support ().
