Abstract

The invention is directed to a plug-type connection composed of blade connector and spring clip, whereby the individual contact passages are surrounded by electrically conductive shielding plates that are connected to shield contactings carrying a ground or shield potential. The shield contactings are to an intermediate shielding grid system located both at the backplane side and at the circuit board or module side. In order to achieve an improved interconnect passage width between the contact blades and the shield contactings arranged in the intermediate grid, the electrical connection between the connector or spring clip and assembly printed circuit board ensues on the basis of pressure of spring-like bent terminal ends which flatten onto contact surfaces on the assembly printed circuit board.
