Abstract:
1. A plug connector for solder-mounting on a circuit board, comprising an insulating body and at least one oblong electrical plug contact held therein in a receptacle chamber, with said plug connector extending between a foot part associated with a circuit board and a head part of the insulating body that faces the foot part at a distance, and with the at least one oblong electrical plug contact at a front end that is close to the head part, the at least one oblong electrical plug contact comprising an accessible electrically contactable plug section, a central section adjacent to the plug section, and , adjacent to the central section , an exposed soldering section at a rear end that is close to the foot part, wherein the central section comprises a rigid cylindrical holding zone adjacent to the plug section as well as a cylindrical flexible deformation zone extending between the holding zone and the soldering section so that the plug section of the at least one oblong electrical plug contact can be shifted laterally in relation to the soldering section when the deformation zone is deformed, wherein the at least one oblong electrical plug contact is made of one piece and has a hollow interior at least in the area of the deformation zone, and wherein the deformation zone comprises at least two transverse slots that extend transversely to the longitudinal axis of the at least one oblong electrical plug contact and are staggered relative to each other in the axial direction, and that each extends in one plane over at least half of the circumferential wall of the deformation zone, as well as longitudinal slots extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the at least one oblong electrical plug contact, with the transverse slots being connected with the longitudinal slots at the ends and engaging the longitudinal slots preferably in a central location thereof, and wherein at least the deformation zone of the at least one oblong electrical plug contact comprises deformable material.
