ABSTRACT:
Grounding mechanism for the electrical connection of shieldings of multi-pole plugs to the ground potential layer of a printed circuit board having a plurality of perpendicularly extending contact blades. A punched strip is provided with transverse slots, is bent around its longitudinal axis and has two edge regions, whereby outwardly arced spring regions of the punched strip proceeding parallel to the transverse slots are respectively arranged between the longitudinal axis and one of the edge regions, whereby webs having recesses are arranged at prescribed intervals from one another in a first edge region and clearances aligning with these webs are provided in a second edge region, and whereby the edge regions are bent pointing toward one another. In an assembled configuration, the punched strip is pressed together to such an extent that the webs of the first edge region penetrate through the clearances of the second edge region such that the recesses together with the clearances respectively form receptacle openings for the contact blades.
