  • Contact plug for directly contacting a circuit board
    Patent number: 9033735
    Abstract: A contact plug for direct electrical contacting of contact surfaces is provided on both sides of a circuit board. The contact plug includes two flexibly interconnected contact carriers, which form, between each other, a plug receptacle for the circuit board and each have at least one contact element extending into the plug receptacle. A spring is provided whose two free spring legs engage over the two contact carriers i the insertion direction of the contact plug and bias them in the direction of each other. A control channel, which is formed between the two contact carriers nd laterally adjacent to the plug receptacle and, in cooperation with a control wedge provided on the circuit board, pivots the two contact carriers open in opposition to the action of the spring upon insertion of the circuit board. A seal seals the two contact carriers in a mating contact plug on the reverse side. The two free spring legs of the springengage over the two contact carriers in the insertion direction of the contact plug.
