Abstract
A plug socket (1) has a plug housing (2) with a baseplate (3). The baseplate (3) has a respective contact surface (9,10) on two opposite sides in order to seat it on a printed circuit board. A contact spring (6) has two support regions (7,8) which are curved in the shape of an arc in opposite directions and which together form the shape of an S lying on its side. The contact spring (6) permits conductor track contact both in the case of surface mounting and plug-in mounting for the plug socket (1).
