Abstract

Contact elements of a plug-in mount are connected in an electrically conducting manner to conductive contact zones on a surface of a substrate after the plug-in mount has been loaded with a switching assembly and are electrically isolated from the signal lines in the unloaded state. Therefore, higher clock rates for the signals transmitted on the signal lines are made possible in not completely expanded systems having empty mounting locations.
