Abstract

A housing (1) for holding a printed circuit board (10) has a cable receptacle (2) which is configured as a cutout open toward the side of the printed circuit board (10). A cable (7) is freed from its insulation at its free end, and then positioned over the cable receptacle (2) such that the end of the bared cable strand (9) initially rests on the housing (1). Thereafter, the cable (7) is pressed into the cable receptacle (2), the bared end of the cable strand (9) being bent over by 90°. Subsequently, the printed circuit board (10) is laid onto the housing (1) in such a way that the cable strand (9) penetrates a bore (11) in the printed circuit board (10) and can subsequently be soldered.
