Abstract
A connecting assembly is described for connecting two printed circuit boards (12, 13) comprising a plug (10) and socket (11). The plug has a dielectric peripheral frame (14), at least one plug block (16) in the frame, and contact elements (e.g. 18) in the plug block. The plug frame (14) extends forwardly beyond the front face (27) of the plug block (16) in order to form a receptacle (48R). The socket (11) comprises a peripheral frame (15), at least one socket block (17) mounted in the socket frame, and contact elements (e.g. 19) in the socket block. The socket block (17) extends forwardly (arrow Fs) beyond the front edge (51) of the socket frame (15) and can be received in the plug receptacle (48R).
