Abstract

The invention relates to an electrical plug-in connector (1) comprising a housing, a printed circuit board (6), and at least one electrical contact which is electrically connected to the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board (6) is spring-mounted.

Claims

1. An electrical plug-in connector, comprising a housing, a printed circuit board and at least one electrical contact, which is electrically connected to the printed circuit board, wherein the printed circuit board is mounted in a sprung manner.

2. The electrical plug-in connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the printed circuit board is mounted via an elastic element.

3. The electrical plug-in connector as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that wherein the printed circuit board is prestressed via the elastic element.

4. The electrical plug-in connector as claimed in claim 2, wherein at least one intermediate piece is arranged between the elastic element and the printed circuit board.

5. The electrical plug-in connector as claimed in claim 2, wherein the elastic element is in the form of a rubber element, elastomer or in the form of a metal spring.

6. The electrical plug-in connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electrical contacts are prestressed by a comb element.

7. The electrical plug-in connector as claimed in claim 6, wherein the electrical contacts are guided in the comb element.

8. The electrical plug-in connector as claimed in claim 6, wherein the comb element has a stop edge or face for a mating plug-in connector, which delimits the excursion of the printed circuit board.

9. The electrical plug-in connector as claimed in claim 2, wherein the housing is designed to have at least two parts, the elastic element being mounted in a first housing part, the printed circuit board being mounted fixedly in a second housing part, and the first and second housing parts being connected to one another such that they can move.

10. The electrical plug-in connector as claimed in claim 9, wherein the first housing part and the second housing part are connected to one another via a pivot-bearing arrangement.

11. The electrical plug-in connector as claimed in claim 10, wherein the first housing part is formed with at least one cylinder pin.

12. The electrical plug-in connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electrical plug-in connector is in the form of an RJ45 socket.
