  • Publication number: 20070072480
    Abstract: The invention proposes a ribbon cable plug-in connector (10) for connecting electronic components. The ribbon cable plug-in connector (10) comprises a plurality of plug-in contacts (14a, 14b) arranged in a plug-in connector element (11). A contact element (12a, 12b) arranged on the plug-in connector element (11), in the longitudinal direction (13) of the plug-in contacts (14a, 14b) is provided for full-surface contact-making with an electrically conductive ribbon cable screening (17, 17a, 17b) which encloses the ribbon cable (16) on its outside. For fixing the ribbon cable screening (17, 17a, 17b) on the contact element (12a, 12b) there is preferably provided at least one clamping element (15a, 15b). The ribbon cable plug-in connector (10) according to the invention allows contact between the ribbon cable screening (17, 17a, 17b) and the ribbon cable plug-in connector (10) to be easily established and ensures a high screening level.

  • Publication number: 20070049116
    Abstract: A plug-in connection having at least three multipole contact banks, preferably a plug-in connection comprising a multipoint pin connector and a multipoint slot connector, the multipoint pin connectors having at least one first contact element and the multipoint slot connectors having at least one second contact element, corresponding to the first contact element, is characterized in that solder terminals of the contact elements of at least one contact bank are arranged so that the spacing between the solder terminals of the contact elements of that at least one contact bank and the solder terminals of the contact elements of the remaining contact banks is larger than the spacing between the solder terminals of the contact elements within the remaining contact banks.
