PLUG-IN CONNECTOR AND METHOD FOR CONNECTING ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS TO A PLUG-IN CONNECTOR

摘要

A plug-in connector (1) comprises a first connection region (10) in which at least one connecting element (11) is provided for connecting at least one electrical conductor (3 1, 32), a second connection region (20) in which at least one contact (21) is provided for contacting a counter connector which is to be connected to the plug-in connector, and a carrier substrate (3) with an uppe r surface (4) on which the connecting element (11) and the contact (21) are provided, the carrier substrate being configured to electrically interconnect the first and second connection regions (10, 20). The carrier substrate (3) is arranged in a housing (40) which forms, on the lower side, a datum plane (46 ) of the plug-in connector in the plug-in direction (70), the upper surface (4) of the carrier substrate ( 3) being positioned in an inclined manner with respect to the datum plane (46). The inclined position of the upper surface of the carrier substrate produces more installation space above the carrier substrate so th at connecting elements which have relatively long spring arms can be used.
