Abstract
Abstract The invention is directed to a printed circuit board arrangement for plug-type connections composed of a blade connector and spring clip, whereby the individual contact passages are surrounded by electrically conductive shield plates that are connected to contactings carrying shield potential that are attached both at the backplane side as well as at the assembly side, and whereby both the contact blades and contact springs as well as the contactings are contacted and secured with press-in technique in the printed circuit boards fashioned as multi-layer multilayers. In order to create an adequate interconnect lead-through width between the contactings, the shield potential in the printed circuit board arrangement of the invention is conducted in a separate shield printed circuit board (3) that is electrically separated from the multilayer (1) by an insulating foil (2).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
210 words
An improved printed circuit board arrangement for a plug-type connection in a signal printed circuit board of the type in which the plug-type connection includes a blade connector for plugging onto the blades of a wiring backplane and a spring clip matably insertable into the blade connector, the spring clip having receptacle chambers with contact springs, the spring clip being and is firmly connected to the assembly printed circuit board, the blades and springs being arranged parallel in a plurality of rows, wherein individual contact passages are surrounded by electrically conductive shielding plates that are connected to shield contacts that are attached in an intermediate grid at a backplane side as well as at an assembly side and carry shield potential, the shield contacts being charged with an appropriate potential, and wherein both the contact blades and contact springs as well as the shield contacts are contacted and secured in a press-in manner in the signal printed circuit board which is formed of multiple layers; wherein the improvement comprises: a shield printed circuit board to conduct the shield potential, the shield printed circuit board being disposed against the signal printed circuit board; and an electrically insulating foil disposed between the shield printed circuit board and the signal printed circuit board.
