Angled electrical connector
First Claim
1. An angled connector having a housing with first connector means (20) extended in a first direction and second connector means (29a-c) extended in a angled direction in relation to the first connector means (20), characterised bya first part (2) comprising a first housing part and the first connector means (20);
- a second part (21a-e) comprising the second connector means (29a-c) and being connectable to the first connector means (20), the second part further comprising a second housing part that is a one piece member holding the second connector means, the second housing part having a bent form in order to engage the first connector means (20) in a first direction and provide the second connector means (29a-c) protruding in at least one second direction angled to the first direction, the second housing part having a circuit pattern to connect the first connector means (20) to the second connector means (29a-c).
