Abstract

In one example, the disclosure relates to plug connections of conductor tracks of at least two interspaced circuit boards with the aid of at least one plug connector. The plug connections are distinguished, for example, by the fact that the conductor tracks are easily electrically conductively interconnected. For this purpose, the plug connector can be a column having a polygonal or star-shaped or conic-section-shaped cross-section. The column can include at least two C-shaped contact springs positioned opposite each other. Moreover, the interspaced circuit boards each include, at the same point, an opening for partially accommodating the column, including plated through-holes, and so the interspaced plated through-holes of the circuit boards can be electrically conductively interconnected via the contact springs of the column.

Claims (12)

1. A plug connection of conductor tracks of at least two interspaced circuit boards, comprising

a plug connector, wherein the plug connector is a column having a polygonal or star-shaped or conic-shaped cross-section, wherein the column comprises two C-shaped contact springs positioned opposite one another;

wherein the interspaced circuit boards each comprise, at the same point, an opening for partially accommodating the column, the openings comprising plated through-holes,

wherein the plated through-holes of the two interspaced circuit boards are electrically conductively interconnected via the contact springs of the column.

2. The plug connection of claim 1 , wherein a middle area of the column is larger in cross-section than at least one end area of the column.

3. The plug connection of claim 2 , wherein the column comprises a plurality of grooves accommodating the contact springs in parallel to a longitudinal axis of the column such that legs of the C-shaped contact springs point toward the outside.

4. The plug connection of claim 1 , wherein a middle area of the column is a holder of the contact spring due to press-fitting and/or bonding and/or clamping.

5. The plug connection of claim 1 , wherein at least one end area of the column comprise a plurality of grooves.

6. The plug connection of claim 5 , wherein at least one of the plurality of grooves extends into a middle area of the column to accommodate one of the two the C-shaped contact springs.

7. The plug connection of claim 2 , wherein the middle area of the column is a stop for the two interspaced circuit boards.

8. The plug connection of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the two contact springs is a leaf spring or a spring having a round cross-section.

9. The plug connection of claim 1 , wherein the column is made of a plastic and at least one of the two contact springs is made of a metal.
