Abstract:
A connecting device comprising a planar support board, adapted for supporting electrical components and/or electrical conductors, manufactured of non-conductive material and having a contact serving for producing an electrical connection with a mating contact of another electrical component, said planar support board having a planar recess open toward one end thereof, side walls delimiting the planar recess on opposite sides respectively having electrically conductive contact faces of the contact, which during the existence of such electrical connection is thrust against a mating contact face of the mating contact that is fitted into the planar recess wherein the contact faces of the contact are respectively provided on spring arms, the spring arms operating cooperatively and being elastically movable in an outward transverse direction of the planar support board in such a manner that the spring arms are urged apart by the mating contact when the mating contact is fitted into the planar recess of the planar support board, against a biasing force provided by the spring arms.
