Abstract
The printed circuit board connector element has a plurality of signal contacts (2) arranged grid-like in a spring clip (1) and a shielding unit (3) that contains a first and second ground lamina (4, 5) that are conductively connected via a bridge (6) that have a first impressible ground terminal (7) projecting from it. The ground laminae (4, 5) respectively extend over all intervening signal contacts (2) of a column, whereby a shielding unit is provided for only every second signal contact column. As a result thereof, only one signal contact per two columns need be occupied with ground or, respectively, only one shielding unit per two columns is required for the complete shielding of all columns.
