ABSTRACT:

The invention relates to an electrical plug connector for printed circuit boards, in particular for rear-wall plug connectors with a frame-shaped insulating body in which contact elements are disposed in columns and rows, it being possible for connecting posts belonging to the contact elements, which posts project out of the insulating body, to be slipped through bores in the circuit board, and for a transfer frame which is constructed for receiving and mechanically retaining multi-row spring strips to be slipped onto the said connecting posts, and the said invention also relates to an electrical plug connector for printed circuit boards, in particular rear-wall plug connectors with a frame-shaped insulating body in which blade contacts are disposed in columns and rows, the said insulating body being constructed for receiving and mechanically retaining multi-row spring strips.
A plug connector of this type is known from the company document “HARTING—New Product Information” (har-bus), March 1998.
In the case of the known, commercial 5-row blade strips (plug connectors), it is not possible to also plug in 3-row spring strips in a mechanically stable manner.
The underlying object of the invention is therefore to construct an electrical plug connector of the initially mentioned type in such a way that 3-row or 5-row spring strips can be inserted alternatively in a 5-row blade-type plug connector.
This object is achieved through the fact that an adapter, in which a 3-row spring strip can be inserted, is latched into the casing of the 5-row blade-type plug connector or into the transfer frame.
Advantageous refinements of the invention are indicated in claims
3
to
6
.
The advantages achieved with the aid of the invention consist, in particular, in the fact that a transfer frame designed for a 5-row spring strip can also be fitted with a 3-row spring strip, and reverse compatibility is still ensured thereby and conversion from a 3-row to a 5-row system in a simple manner is made possible for the user.
