Abstract

Connector designed to come to be engaged on an edge (2) of a printed circuit board (1) and has contacts (3, 4) designed to take support elastically on either side of board (1) in order to establish a direct connection with the conductive connection areas of this board. The connector comprises a base (6) and a plug (8) comprising means cooperating together during the insertion of plug (8) into base (6) in order to: PA1 guide the introduction of plug (8) into base (6); PA1 move plug (8) upward to permit a lining up of row of contacts (4) borne by the second part (10) of plug (8) onto the conductive areas situated under the edge of board (1) and simultaneously; PA1 bend flexible part (9) of plug (8) downward to permit a lining up of row of contacts (3) borne by this flexible part (9) on the conductive areas situated on the edge of board (1).
