Abstract:
A device for electrically connecting at least one contact point on a first circuit board to at least one contact point on a second circuit board using at least one conductor (1), wherein the second circuit board is positioned neighboring the first circuit board, and wherein the at least one conductor is provided with an insulating sheath (2), comprising:a) cutting contacts (3) for being positioned fixed at the contact points on a relevant circuit board, and having cutters (5) implemented at contact legs (4) thereof for contacting the conductor (1) without stripping; and b) a housing (6) for receiving the conductor (1) and tightly enclosing the conductor (1), and having: a) a conductor insertion opening (7) disposed in a long side of the housing (6) and extending over a respective conductor length; b) guide contours (10) disposed on both sides on inner sides (8) of the housing (6) adjoining the conductor insertion opening (7) in the housing (6), running transversely to a housing lengthwise direction, being recessed relative to lateral conductor bearing surfaces (9) on the inner sides (8) of the housing (6), and being tailored to a recess of the contact legs (4) of the cutting contacts (3), wherein the contact legs (4) of the cutting contacts (3) are provided with the cutters (5); c) at least one angled recess (20) disposed in a side of the housing (6) furthest from the conductor insertion opening (7) in the housing (6) and has a crown (21) extending over a width of the housing (6) and from a back side (19) of the housing (6) up into both lateral walls (13) of the housing (6); and d) a slot (22) lying centrally to the housing (6) in the lateral walls (13) of the housing (6) and extending from the conductor insertion opening (7) in the housing (6) into the lateral walls (13) of the housing (6) up to near the crown (21) of the recess (20) to form a residual, flexible web (23).
