Abstract

A plug-in connection between a first connector at the edge of a printed circuit board and a second connector on a printed circuit board mount takes the form of a restrictedly guided swivel connection device. The printed circuit board with the first connector is swivelled about a swivel axis, which is held at the top, in the direction of the connector and at the bottom by an abutment. Escape by the connectors is prevented by engagement of the two outer walls of the connectors at a slide contact zone. Swivelling is only possible when the swivel axis has reached its desired position. Through swivelling of the arrangement, the blade contacts of the first connector make their way into the female contact elements of the second connector.
