Patent ID: 7033211

Claim:
An electrical angle-shaped pin-and-socket connector comprising: an insulating body, which contains electrical contacts and which is arranged and fixed in a functional position in a first angle leg of the pin-and-socket connector such that electrical lines can extend out from the insulating body; the electrical contacts extend through a second angle leg of the pin-and-socket connector to a load or to a power source behind a wall of a housing, on which the second angle leg is adapted to be held directly or indirectly in the functional position with at least one attachment screw; the at least one attachment screw of the pin-and-socket connector is simultaneously used for mutual fixation of the two angle legs in the functional position; the second angle leg having a receptacle opening, which opens perpendicular to an extension direction of the second angle leg and in which a plug section of the first angle leg is inserted and fitted; and an overlapping or contact region between an inside of the receptacle opening of the second angle leg and the plug section of the first angle leg includes at least one continuous opening therethrough, arranged perpendicular to an axial extension direction of the first angle leg through the second angle leg, the at least one continuous opening extending to a contact surface on the wall for receiving the attachment screw, the attachment screw extends into the overlapping or contact region with a part of a cross section thereof approximately as a secant at least through a part of the cross section of a wall of the plug section of the first angle leg, so that the attachment screw, extending in the functional position through the continuous opening, simultaneously extends through the plug section and fixes the first angle leg in the axial direction with a positive fit.
