Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0568403A1] The invention relates to a connector which can be plugged into a printed-circuit board, especially by forcible insertion, and including an insulating body (10) carrying a series of contacts (70) forming part of elbowed pins extended towards the rear by proximal branches (65) which are essentially perpendicular to the board and have a profile (63) enabling them to be plugged in. An insulating body (60) includes slots (90) for receiving the elbowed pins (61). Each slot (90) has a bearing surface (71) parallel to the board (80) permitting the thrust while the profiles (63) are being forcibly plugged in. They also have a second bearing surface (72), essentially perpendicular to the board (80), in order to position the proximal branches (65) in the direction of insertion of the connection members. <IMAGE>
