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: 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.
