Abstract

The invention relates to a plug-in connector (1) for circuit boards (40), comprising a number of contact elements (30). Each contact element (30) is fitted with two terminal ends, one of which is designed as a wire-connecting contact for connecting wires while the other terminal end is designed as a tuning fork contact (31) for contacting terminal areas on a circuit board (40). The plug-in connector (1) further comprises a plastic housing inside which the contact elements (30) are arranged. The wire-connecting contacts can be connected from outside and are designed as wire-wrap contacts (32) which are disposed in at least two rows. The wire-wrap contacts (32) of the different rows are offset relative to one another.
