Abstract: A connecting plug for printed circuit boards has a receiving part with a front cross bar having rectangular openings therein surrounded by insertion bevels and corresponding to the necessary contact count. A multiple contact strip containing contacts snaps into the receiving part. Contact insertion and a decrease in assembly is thereby facilitated. The connecting plug is suitable, in particular, for use in devices of data systems.

Abstract: A pin strip is disclosed for a multi-row plug connector for transmitting small signals with low crosstalk in data processing systems with intermeshed ground planes which are in each case arranged between signal planes. Between at least one row of pins which forms a signal plane and an adjoining row of pins which forms a ground plane there is a shield plate spring clamped in position whose edges are bent inwardly and which contact all the pins of the ground plane. An insulating film is provided to insulate the plate from the signal plane pins.
