Abstract
A circuit board connector comprising an insulating housing and contact elements accommodated therein and each having a securing portion for securing on a circuit board, a contact portion for establishing pluggable contact with a complementary pluggable contact element of a complementary connector, as well as a mounting portion provided therebetween for mounting in said insulating housing. Through-passages located on the side of the circuit board and through which the securing portion of one contact element each can project through the housing floor are of a length and width, respectively, in connector mating direction and transversely thereof, which is at lest as large as the overall dimension of the associated contact element as seen in connector mating direction and transversely thereof, respectively, such that the insulating housing is adapted to be pluggably placed onto contact elements which are already mounted on the circuit board. The insulating housing and at least some of the contact elements are formed with latching means and complementary latching mens, respectively, through which the insulating housing, upon application, is adapted to be brought into latching connection…
