Abstract:
A printed circuit board, in particular for a display instrument in a motor vehicle, comprising a printed circuit board, and a coupling element of a plug-in device, said printed circuit board having one or more clearances, the coupling element having one or more terminal contacts, the coupling element having a base connectable to the printed circuit board, and the terminal contact or contacts being, on a first side of the printed circuit board facing away from a coupling region of the coupling element, electrically connected to said printed circuit board, wherein the base (6) of the coupling element (2) has a connecting element (12), said connecting element passes through the printed circuit board (1) in one of said clearances (10) in the printed circuit board (1), is twistable about an axis (11) extending approximately perpendicularly with respect to the printed circuit board (1) and locks the coupling element (2) to the printed circuit board (1), wherein said one of said clearances (10) is arranged in a plane approximately parallel to the printed circuit board (1) at an angle (a) with respect to the connecting element (12) and wherein the connecting element (12) is twisted when said connecting element is inserted into said one of said clearances (10).
