- a recess 13 is provided in the first carrier 10, in which a first contacting holder 12 is displaceably mounted in the direction C.
- the firstmaschine istshalter has first projections 14 which extend parallel to its surface and only two of which are exemplified by reference numerals.
- An FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit Contact) contact element 18 extends substantially parallel to the surface of the first contacting holder 12. The end of the FPC contact element lowers into a trough 20 of the first contacting holder 12. Extending from the surface of the first carrier 10 Positioning pin 16 vertically away.
- a closing piece 11th On the opposite side of the first carrier 10 is a closing piece 11th
- a corresponding connection counterpart 200 is shown. It has a second carrier 30, which comprises, for example, a metal part. This may, for example, be a roof cross member of an automobile. On the second carrier 30, a second contacting holder 32 is fixedly mounted. It has second projections 34 which are arranged so that they can interact with the first projections 14 of the connecting piece 100 in a manner to be described later.
- FIG. 3 various stages of bringing together the connector 100 and the connection counterpart 200 are shown. It can be seen in particular pins 22 which are provided laterally on the first contacting holder 12 of the connecting piece 100 and which engage in guide channels 24 which are provided on a vertical wall of the first carrier 10.
- the guide channels 24 are arranged obliquely with respect to the connection direction A and terminate in a straight region 26 which extends in the connection direction A.
- the contacting holder 12 is biased by means of a coil spring 28 against the carrier 10, so that when the spring 28 relaxed, the pins 22 are in a position in the guide channels 24, which is shown in part figure 3a.
- Part Figure 3b shows a state in which the connector 100 is already applied to the connection counterpart 200. Further movement in the direction of connection A leads in a manner to be described to a movement of the contacting holder 12 in the direction C and thus to the state shown in part 3c.
- Fig. 4 shows the same movement in the same stages, only in the lateral section of the individual components. Especially good here are the bow contacts 40 of the connection counterpart 200 recognizable, which cooperate with the contacts of the FPC contact element 18. In Fig. 4 also the guide 29 of the spring 28 can be seen, which leads to a stable storage.

- the distance from the first carrier 10 to the second carrier 30 is, for example, 10 mm, whereby the guide length f is set.
- the entire arrangement is, for example, at the rear of a panel of a motor vehicle, for example behind a headliner.
- the installation height e results from the sum of the height of the first carrier 10 and the end piece 11, for example, to about 25 mm.
- Fig. 6 shows the contact geometry.
- the FPC contact element 18 has a plurality of electrical conductor tracks 19.
- the FPC contact element 18 is offset parallel to the region 17 in the manner illustrated.
- the FPC contact element 18 is located in the first contacting holder 12 of the connecting piece 100.

- the connection counterpart 200 has bow contacts 40, which are in electrical connection with cables 38.
- the FPC contact element 18 is displaced in the direction C with the first contacting holder 12, the step between the regions 21 and 17 abuts the arc contact 40, so that the arc contact 40 is pushed onto the region 17 and makes electrical contact with one of the contact paths 19 manufactures.
- connection counterpart 100 and the connection counterpart 200 are brought into a position in which they face each other, as shown in sub-figures 3a and 4a, respectively. Further movement of the connecting piece 100 in the connecting direction A causes the positioning bolts 16 to engage in corresponding positioning openings 36, as can be seen in subfigures 3b and 4b.
- the first projections 14 of the first contacting holder 10 and the second projections 34 of the second contacting holder 30 are arranged laterally offset from one another such that in this displacement process projections of the one element and gaps between the projections of the other element face each other.
- the pins 22 abut at the ends of the guide channels 24. This optimum position is chosen so that upon insertion of the positioning pins 16 into the positioning holes 36, the first projections 14 of the first contacting holder and the second projections 34 of the second contacting holder do not interfere.
- the first contacting holder 12 abuts on the second carrier 30 of the connecting counterpart 200, wherein the second protrusions 34 of the second contacting holder 32 of the connecting counterpart 200 pass through the spaces between the first protrusions 14 of the first contacting holder 12 of the connecting piece 100.
- the ends of the sheet contacts 40 are then in the trough 20 of the firstmaschinetechnikshalters 12, in which the lowered portion 21 of the FPC contact element 18 is located.
- the result is the state as shown in subfigures 3c and 4c, respectively.
- the first carrier 10 and the second carrier 30 can now be fixed to each other, for example, by additional fastening elements.
- it is sufficient if, for example, the headliner of a motor vehicle rests against the end piece 11, since the spring force of the spring 28 is chosen so small that slipping of the first support 10 from the second support 30 is prevented by the tension of the headliner becomes.
- the connecting piece according to the invention, the counterpart connection according to the invention and the electrical connection system according to the invention provide a flexible electrical coupling which even enables a blind or automatic plugging operation.
- the assembly process is thereby considerably simplified and can be automated.
- the number of assembly steps and the number of components is greatly reduced.
- the embodiments of the invention are suitable for use of flat conductor contacts or FPC contacts, which are increasingly used in the automotive sector.
- a plurality of electrical contacts can be made in parallel with only one connection system.
- connection is easy to perform and by appropriately designed positioning elements, for example by tapered positioning pin 16, without costly Vorjustage possible.
