Abstract
The invention relates to a plug-in connector for printed circuits, comprising a plurality of contact elements, whereby said contact elements have two connecting faces each. The one connecting face is configured as an insulation displacement contact for connecting cores and the other connecting face is configured as a tuning fork contact for contacting contact surfaces on a printed circuit. The insulation displacement contacts of the contact elements can be inserted into a plastic housing. At least one lower edge of the insulation displacement contacts is supported on the plastic housing so that the contact elements are captivated in the plastic housing when connecting forces act upon the insulation displacement contacts. The plastic housing comprises at least one chamber-type area. The tuning fork contacts are completely received by the plastic housing in the longitudinal direction. The contact element is configured as a two-part element, a first part of the contact element comprising the insulation displacement contact and the second part comprising the tuning fork contact. One contact arm each is positioned on both parts of the contact element and the two contact arms interact to…
