Angular press-fit plug connector for press-fitting into holes in a printed circuit board

Claim 1

A press-fit plug connector for press-fitting into holes in a printed circuit board, comprising: a substantially parallelepipedal plastic body; an approximately U-shaped molded part having slot-like recesses open toward a printed circuit board, press-fit areas disposed parallel to the printed circuit board and next to said recesses, U legs with free ends, a U base acting as a pressure surface during press-fitting, and fastening pegs each integrally formed on a respective one of said U legs toward the printed circuit board; contacts laterally guided in said slot-like recesses and each having one end fastened in said plastic body, a free end with a press-fit section bent away at right angles toward the printed circuit board and two press-fit shoulders interacting with said press-fit areas during press-fitting; a shielding plate defining a plug connector plug-in surface, said shielding plate having parts perpendicular to the printed circuit board defining a plug connector front plane from which said fastening pegs are set back and against which said free ends of said U legs and said plastic body disposed between said free ends abut; and said fastening peg being slotted and having two halves, and including approximately Z-shaped ground contact plates each associated with a respective one of said U legs, said contact plates having first and second short legs perpendicular to the printed circuit board and a long leg parallel to the printed circuit board, said first short leg being inserted between said free end of said U leg and said shielding plate, and said second short leg being a printed circuit board connection clip disposed between said two halves of said fastening peg.
