Abstract

The invention is directed to a plug-type connector for backplane wirings, composed of a blade connector portion and a metal spring clip portion. Individual contact springs are surrounded by electrically conductive shielding plates that are connected to contactings applied in an intermediate grid both at the backplane side as well as at the printed circuit board assembly side, the contactings being charged with an appropriate potential. In order to obtain a comparatively simple structure of the spring clip portion of improved simplicity, the spring clip housing (1-8) is composed of an electrically conductive material, whereby the contact springs (35-37) are arranged insulated therefrom in receptacle chambers (9-16).
