Abstract: For the electrical connection of the interconnects present at two printed circuit boards to one another, single-piece connector elements are employed that are introduced into a receptacle member that is detachably connected to the supplementary printed circuit board. The one end of each connector element is pressed directly into a plated-through hole of the base printed circuit board and the other end of the connected element is pressed directly into a plated-through hole of the supplementary printed circuit board. The production of this elastic press-in connection in the base printed circuit board or, respectively, the infrequent releasing thereof occurs with the assistance of a mounting element (screw connection) belonging to the receptacle member. The unit composed of the receptacle member and of the supplementary printed circuit board can therefore be continuously moved toward the base printed circuit board or lifted therefrom.

Abstract: A centering strip for plugging onto a backplane printed circuit board provided with contact blades accepts plugs in a housing opening and accepts contact blades through openings in a floor of the centering strip. In order to guarantee that the individual cable plugs are correctly plugged into the proper location on the centering strip and that the centering strip is not damaged when the plug is inserted into the housing opening, the centering strip is divided into a plurality of segments by transversely oriented partitions. The partitions have two sides on an upper half portion which forms a mechanical coding devices for the plugs to be accepted. The lower half of the partitions are provided with cavities for acceptance of contact blades. The depth of the cavities is dimensioned such that the centering strip is supported on the contact blades by a solid middle part located between the upper and lower half portions of the partitions.

Abstract: Spring elements are located at shielding caps of printed circuit board or cable connections such that they resiliently press against contact elements in the plugged condition, the contact elements being electrically connected to the ground potential layer of a mother board. Contact blades or reinforcing plates extending perpendicularly to the mother board serve as the contact elements. The spring elements, depending upon the position of the contact elements or the shape of the shielding caps are located at the insides or outsides of the shielding caps or are fashioned at the edges thereof which are directed towards the mother board.

Abstract: The retention of a contact blade of a backplane printed circuit board in a centering strip ensues by means of a resilient web in the floor of the centering strip engagable by a calotte-like pock on the contact blade, thus providing definable retaining forces.

Abstract: A centering module member combined with a contact spring element, pre-mounted thereon by means of a simple plug-in connection that, when the centering module is fastened to a grounded shielding plate, the plate is directly contacted by the contact spring element. At the same time, the part of the contact spring element engaging through a corresponding recess into an interior space of the centering module member presses resiliently against a metallic housing of a plugged-in cable plug. The contact spring element forms a frame composed of webs, whereby spring tongues engaging into the interior space are attached to at least two webs lying opposite one another.

Abstract: The housing of the cable plug is exclusively formed of a one-piece metal part bent U-shaped which presses against the unit equipped with the contact spring elements under spring tension. In order for a shielding elimination to ensue on a short, direct path to a grounded potential carrier, the legs of the metal part nearly surround the unit or they even extend beyond it. In such a case, they are executed as resilient tongues with which an electrical connection to the grounded potential carrier directly ensues. Catch elements are provided for an interlocking connection of the metal part to the unit containing the spring clips or the blade strips. The web surface of the metal part proceeds at a slant relative to the bottom edges of its legs. In order to enable an oblique exit of the cable both toward the top and bottom, as well as toward the right and left, the said unit can also be engaged side-inverted without loss of positioning.

Abstract: Centering strips, pluggable onto the contact blades of a wiring backpanel for receiving cable plugs, are provided with fastening disks in the region of openings in the floor of the centering strips through which the contact blades project into the centering strip, the fastening disk likewise including openings for plugging the contact blades therethrough. After the centering strip has been plugged, the fastening disks are located such that their inner edges of their openings cut into the contact blades and their outer edges cut into the floor of the centering strip. A positive fixing between contact blade, fastening disk and centering strip is thereby achieved.

Abstract: The coder device prevents plugs being assembled to a counter-plug device having a different coding. The coder device is formed by tongue-like projections on a plug and by corresponding chamber-like recesses on the counter-plug device. The projections are provided with a theoretical breakage point and can be broken off. The broken off projections can be inserted into the associated recess of the housing of the counter-plug device. By breaking off projections in different combinations, it is possible to individualize the original universal coder device.

Abstract: An electric assembly is provided with a multi-row plug strip which is connected to a carrier plate arranged in the extension zone of a central row of contacts. The connector elements of the outer row of contact elements are bent into the region of the next row, around the end of the circuit board, and are inserted into bores of the circuit board from the same side as the connector elements of the other rows. The two outer rows of receiving chambers which are adjacent to the circuit board are equipped with contact elements in alternation and offset relative to one another. By means of the invention the circuit board is displaced inwards away from the spacing boundary. The plug forces are thus transferred to the circuit board in a less one-sided fashion.
