Electrical connector

摘要

A connector (10) is provided with a plurality of electrical contact elements (19), which are disposed inside a connector housing (16) and provided with a first connection end for a plug and a second connection end (43) for plug-in connection to plated-through holes of a printed-circuit board (11) or the like, and with a device (23) for fastening and retaining the connector housing (16) in a correctly fitting manner. So that the connector is easier to assemble and takes up less surface area on the printed-circuit board, it is provided that the fastening and retaining device (23) comprises an integral pin-like element (26), which at its plug-in end (28) for the plated-through hole of the printed-circuit board (11) is designed with axial gearing extending over its periphery, wherein the tooth system (31) and the plated-through hole of the printed-circuit board may be brought together in the manner of a press fit.
