Abstract
A printed circuit board plug connector includes first and second mutually perpendicular printed circuit boards. A first contact bank in the form of a multiple plug is disposed on the first board and a second contact bank in the form of a multiple connector is disposed in an edge region and protrudes at a longitudinal edge of the second board. The second contact bank has a plug-in area and a body with a lower surface and electrical connections protruding from a lower surface of the second board. A metal shielding element which is a rigid, rectangular, closed circumferential frame surrounds the sides of the first contact bank. The frame has longitudinal walls and transverse walls with inner surfaces. Circumferential metal sheets being feathered at narrow intervals are attached to inner surfaces of the walls of the frame in the form of inwardly curved, resilient, inner contact elements. Insert pins plug the metal shielding element into bores formed in the first board. Two metal shielding shells enclose the second contact bank, and insert pins plug the shielding shells into bores formed in opposite sides of the second board. One of the shielding shells completely encloses the second co…
