Abstract: An apparatus for testing a printed-circuit board has sensor pins formed by contiguous zones each having a predetermined number of the sensor pins and respective spring strips juxtaposed with the zones and each having the predetermined number of contacts each formed with a socket for a respective one of the pins of the respective zone. Respective main printed-circuit boards juxtaposed with the spring strips each have oppositely directed first and second sides and each also have an end region formed with an array of the predetermined number of contact points. Respective first and second side boards flanking the first and second faces of each of the end regions each have contact points each connected to a respective spring-strip contact. Respective first and second arrays of press-in pins are engaged through the respective first and second side boards with the contact points of the respective faces of the respective main boards.

Abstract: A terminal/pin block for making a multipin electronic plug has a rigid dielectric plate lying in a plane and having a pair of edges and two opposite faces. Respective centering formations formed on the faces project away from the plane and the centering formations of one of the faces are complementary to and fittable in the centering formations of the other of the faces. A row of conductive strips imbedded in the plate all lie in a common plane parallel to each other and each have one end forming a contact pin and an opposite end forming a terminal. The contact pins all extend from one of the edges of the plate and the terminals all extend from another of the plate edges.

Abstract: An electrical zero-force contact connector device includes two complementary connector components, wherein one connector component is a female multi-point connector with spring contacts and the other connector component is a male multi-point connector with blade contacts. The device further includes an actuating unit for placing the contacts into contact with one another, wherein the actuating unit includes a linearly moveable slide member which interacts with a guide member. The slide member is mounted in one of the connector components and is provided with a web which projects toward the other connector component. The web has at least one oblong hole which extends obliquely relative to the direction of movement of the slide member, wherein the oblong hole receives a transverse bolt of the guide member which can be moved back and forth on the web in a positively guided manner.

Abstract: A press-in contact to be pressed into a throughplated hole of a printed circuit board includes a contact spring or a contact pin, a middle shaft portion connected to the contact spring or pin, and a connecting pin forming an extension of the middle shaft portion. The contact spring or the contact pin has in the transition area to the shaft portion a press-in shoulder. The shaft portion is provided with a slot-shaped opening whose sides are formed by legs. Each end of the slot-shaped opening has an approximately parabolic configuration. The slot-shaped opening is conically shaped and the end of the slot-shaped opening facing the contact spring or the contact pin extends into the area of the contact spring or the contact pin.

Abstract: A plug and socket connector, particularly with filtering and/or shielding, is composed of two connector halves, for examples, a female or male multi-point connector and a printed circuit board or the like. The base member of one connector half has pin-like connecting elements and the base member of the other connector has corresponding receiving openings or spring contacts. Between always two receiving openings for contacts, a metal-coated cutout is provided. In an electric plug-type connection, the receiving openings of the base member receiving the pin-like connecting elements are provided with a suitable metal contact.

Abstract: A high current connector for electrical plug-in contact devices is disclosed which has a sleeve or tubularly-shaped press-fit portion, which is provided with a relatively long jacket area, which is bulged in a barrel-shaped manner, between two short cylindrical jacket areas. A press-fit portion of the connector member is located on the bulged jacket area.
