Abstract

A press-fit plug connector for press-fitting into holes in a printed circuit board, includes contacts which are each fastened at one end in a parallelepipedal plastic body and laterally guided in a molded part in slot-like recesses that are open toward the printed circuit board. The contacts have a free end with a press-fit section which is bent away toward the printed circuit board and two press-fit shoulders. The molded part is constructed with press-fit areas. A plug-in surface of the plug connector is constructed with a shielding plate having parts which are perpendicular to the printed circuit board and define a front plane of the plug connector. The molded part is of approximately U-shaped construction and free ends of U legs together with the plastic body disposed therebetween, abut against the front plane.
