Abstract

A plug connector assembly includes a first plug connector part arranged on a printed circuit board (PCB) and a second plug connector part. Stamped/bent parts are positioned next to respective sides of the first plug connector part and are fastened to the PCB. In one variation, each stamped/bent part forms a spring arm, and when the plug connector parts are connected, end sections of the spring arms engage in respective detent recesses (or notches) in a base body of the second plug connector part thereby fixing the plug connector parts together. In another variation, each stamped/bent part has a detent recess, and a base body of the second plug connector part has spring arms on respective sides of the base body which lock with the detent recesses in the stamped/bent parts when the plug connector parts are connected thereby fixing the plug connector parts together.
