Abstract

The invention relates to a plug-in connector ( 1 ), comprising a housing, a printed circuit board ( 2 ) and RF contacts (K 1 -K 8 ), the RF contacts (K 1 -K 8 ) being electrically connected to the printed circuit board ( 2 ), the RF contacts (K 1 -K 8 ) being formed by an integral, flexible printed circuit board ( 4 ), from which the individual contacts (K 1 -K 8 ) are cut free, the flexible printed circuit board ( 4 ) being prestressed by a spring-elastic element ( 6 ).

Claims (14)

1. A plug-in connector, comprising:

a housing,

a printed circuit board configured to be disposed in the housing;

an anvil coupled to the printed circuit board, the anvil having a plurality of arches moveable relative to a frame structure, each arch having two sides connected to the frame structure of the anvil;

a spring elastic element disposed beneath the anvil; and

RF contacts, the RF contacts being electrically connected to the printed circuit board, wherein the RF contacts are formed by an integral, flexible printed circuit board that is disposed on the arches of the anvil, from which the individual contacts are cut free, the flexible printed circuit board being prestressed by the spring-elastic element.

2. The plug-in connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spring-elastic element is in the form of an elastomer.

3. The plug-in connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing is designed to have two parts, the printed circuit board being fixedly mounted in the second housing part, and the first and second housing parts being connected to one another such that they can move.

4. The plug-in connector as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the connection between the first and second housing parts is in the form of a pivot bearing.

5. The plug-in connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least two adjacent contacts are bent in opposite directions toward the contact region.

6. The plug-in connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein additional capacitances are formed on the flexible printed circuit board and compensate for the crosstalk.

7. The plug-in connector as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the capacitances form a non-current-conducting path.

8. The plug-in connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein additional capacitances are formed on the printed circuit board.

9. The plug-in connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plug-in connector is in the form of an RJ45 socket.
