Abstract:
1. A plug-type connector ( 2 ) for electrical contacting and for attachment to a printed circuit board ( 4 ) equipped with a base strip ( 5 ), for at least one electrical conductor ( 6 ), the connector having a housing made of insulating material ( 3 ) either in block or modular design, with at least one actuating means ( 8 ) made of synthetic material, with at least one spring force element ( 11 ), comprising a leg spring ( 13 ) that is punched out of and formed of a strip of material for clamping an electrical conductor ( 6 ), with at least one contact insert ( 14 ) that is punched out of and formed in one piece of an electrically conducting strip of material forming a bus bar ( 16 ), whereby the bus bar ( 16 ) is formed of numerous end pieces ( 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ), wherein three end pieces ( 32 , 34 , 35 ) form a u-shaped spring cage ( 45 ), and wherein the bus bar ( 16 ) exhibits a contact area ( 17 ) for the electrical conductor ( 6 ) and a contact element ( 18 ) for plugging the connecting terminal ( 1 ) onto a contact pin ( 7 ) as well as attachment means ( 19 ) for mounting the at least one contact insert ( 14 ) in the insulating housing ( 3 ), characterized in that the spring force element ( 11 ) includes means for simultaneous physical and electrical attachment to said contact insert ( 14 ).
