Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0471971A1] The pin-socket unit has a pin (3) having two limbs (5) which are approximately parallel to one another, bound an elongated hole (4) formed by stamping out, are sprung towards one another, and are used for pressing into an opening in a printed-circuit board. A shoulder (used to bound the insertion path) of a supporting part (8) is allocated to said limbs. The socket (2) comprises a multiplicity of contact springs (9) which extend approximately, originating in the region of the shoulders, at a distance from the socket axis, to the region of the front pin insertion opening (13). They are at their minimum distance from the socket axis approximately in their central region. Particularly economical production is enabled in that the pin (3) is constructed as a stamped part which is independent of the supporting part (8) having the shoulders which are used for bounding the insertion part, and can be connected to the shoulders via a clamping connecting element (6, 7). In an analogous manner to the pin (3) the pin end (6) comprises two latching limbs (21), in a particularly favourable manner, which bound a clamping elongated hole (20) formed by stamping out, are sprung towards one another and can be inserted into the clamping hole (7). <IMAGE>
