Abstract

For a connector, preferably a connector for optical waveguides, which is arranged jointly with electrical connectors on a printed board which can be plugged into a rack, it is proposed to equalize the tolerances in the direction of insertion defined by the electrical connectors in that the connector half for optical waveguides arranged in the rack has a plug-in part latched and held in a carrier body and that when the connector halves are assembled this latching is released and a latching with the connector half of the printed board takes place, wherein by means of the released latching with the carrier body the plug-in part is held therein in a displaceable manner.
