  • a disadvantage is that the printed circuit board when loading and soldering can not be placed flat because the terminal protrudes relatively far from the solder side of the circuit board.
  • Another disadvantage is that the lead from the component side of the printed circuit board must be passed through the printed circuit board to the solder side of the printed circuit board in order to be jammed with the terminal-like portion of the cable connector. This section does not stand out too far from the component side.

This mobility is done, after attaching the connector on the circuit board, in a direction relative to the circuit board from the first side linearly toward the second side.
  • the existing electrical coupling of the connector with the printed circuit board remains unaffected. Ie.
  • the connector can be fitted and soldered just laid on circuit board. Only then does the final assembly of the connector. Moving reduces it the protruding dimension of the connector over the first side of the circuit board.

Further, it is possible to easily move the base portion by pushing toward the second side of the circuit board, which is a very simple operation.
  • the respective section has a pivoting means, for example in the form of a hinge, by means of which the base section or the at least one first connecting section can be pivoted in the direction of the end position, ie when mounted, in the direction of the second side of the circuit board.
  • a pivoting means for example in the form of a hinge, by means of which the base section or the at least one first connecting section can be pivoted in the direction of the end position, ie when mounted, in the direction of the second side of the circuit board.
  • the pivoting also makes it possible to pivot the respective section through a recess / opening in the circuit board or around an outer edge of the circuit board around to the second side. In the latter case, therefore, no additional precautions must be taken on the circuit board to allow the mobility.
  • the base member is mounted on the circuit board and preferably soldered.
  • the coupling section for receiving the wire connection can be brought to the soldering side, for example pivoted.
  • the contact tongues are designed to be flexible. This change can be done by folding, pressing or pressing devices that lock on the solder side of the circuit board. Preferably, this lock is canceled again, so that the base member can be moved back to the starting position.

  • the connector is preferably arranged to signal a reaching of the end position with respect to the respective relative movability. Ie. a person mounting such a connector can detect when the movement is completed, which makes assembly easier and less prone to error. In an automated assembly, this signaling can be used to trigger a suitable sensor, which then sends a sensor signal to an assembly control. This can then react, for example by terminating the current assembly step.

  • an optical marking may be provided so that it is visible, invisible or removed in the electrical coupling of the at least one electrical conductor with the respective coupling portion or on reaching the end in terms of relative mobility.
  • This signaling can be detected in an automatic production by means of an optical sensor such as a photodiode.
  • the visibility, invisibility can be achieved by recognizing a portion with a marker from the mounting view, or disappearing behind a region of, for example, the circuit board belonging to a section to which the section is relatively moved or to which the area is relatively moved.
  • the marking is removed by rubbing the two mutually relatively moved sections against one another in such a way that the marking is removed, for example, in the form of a color foil.
  • the aforementioned attachment portion preferably has at least one wire bridge which is designed to be fastened with free ends on the printed circuit board. This allows easy installation in the usual way by means of soldering.

  • the aforementioned relative mobility can be realized by means of the wire bridges, which can thus assume three functions. If it is part of the electrical coupling, it is at least at a position of the end of the aforementioned relative mobility with respect to the other connector with a respective first coupling portion electrically coupled. Ie. the displacement of the base portion with respect to the wire bridge in no case leads to the loss of the electrical coupling of the wire bridge to the respective coupling portion goes, or the electrical coupling is reached only at the end of this relative movement. In the latter case, a check can thus be made as to whether the connector has been mounted correctly. Namely, if an electrical conductor is connected to the associated coupling section, and no current flows, this can be an indication of faulty mounting.
  • the aforesaid enabling of the electrical connection from the second side of the printed circuit board can additionally or alternatively take place in that the base section is designed on a side facing or protruding from the second side of the printed circuit board such that the at least one first connecting section is on this side of the base section is arranged or mounted and electrically coupled via the base portion with the circuit board.
  • the base portion can be made movable, so that the connecting portion can not be mounted until the base portion has been moved toward the second side.
  • the printed circuit board for placement can continue to be placed flat and still a wiring can be realized on the second side of the circuit board.

  • the base portion may be similarly configured on both sides. This makes it possible to connect conductors both above and below the printed circuit board and to be able to lay the printed circuit board flat when loading.
  • the coupling sections can be exchanged and removed if necessary, when they are no longer necessary. This may be the case when removing a module that was previously powered by the connector or circuit board.
  • the respective connection portion need not be made movable relative to the circuit board when the connector is mounted on the circuit board.
  • the structure of the first connection portion can be simplified and optimized with the base portion and the second connection portion, respectively to be coupled.
  • the base portion can be height optimized because, if desired, no external lines need to be connected on the first side of the circuit board. This also makes it possible, for example, to be able to connect conductors with a relatively large cross-section, for example, to a 220 V power supply on the second side, whereas conductors with a smaller cross-section, for example 12 V DC, can be coupled on the first side.
  • each of the aforementioned connectors may have at least two of the above-described connecting portions.
  • Their coupling sections are designed for the electrical connection of differently designed external electrical conductors. This has the advantage of being able to couple conductors of various kinds with one and the same connector and thus with the circuit board.
  • These two connection sections can also be partially or completely interconnected via the base section. This allows a wiring virtually on the circuit board itself over. This can also save space on the circuit board.
