Claim:
Connection arrangement, having a plug element, which comprises a plurality of pluggable contact elements extending parallel to one another, and having a circuit board with plated-through holes, which are arranged in an arrangement corresponding to the arrangement of the contact elements of the plug element, wherein the plated-through holes and the contact elements pluggable into them are matched to each other in such a manner that the plug element is manually connectable to the circuit board by inserting the contact elements into the plated-through holes and the plug element is manually removable, wherein the contact elements are simultaneously pluggable into their associated plated-through holes, wherein each of the contact elements comprise two legs having a space between them, both legs of each of the contact elements pluggable into a respective plated-through hole, and wherein the connection arrangement is provided with a mechanical safeguard against unintentional withdrawal of the plug element from the circuit board, the mechanical safeguard formed by a separate latch structure that is entirely distinct from the contact elements of the plug element.
