Patent ID: 7264504

Claim:
A female multipole connector for electric plug-type connectors, comprising: a plate-shaped basic body having guide channels, said guide channels having side walls with snap-in contours; and contact springs directly mechanically and rigidly connected with said basic body by a direct snap connection to have an elastic positive lock with the basic body, said contact springs being disposed in said guide channels, so as not to become loose, wherein said snap-in contours on said side walls of said guide channels comprise snap-in projections with snap-in slants, behind which the contact springs snap in, at intervals; and wherein said contact springs have such spring properties, in a section of conductive track, that said contact springs deform elastically when pressed behind the snap-in projections of the guide channels, and spring back elastically again when an end position has been reached, by snapping in behind the snap-in projections.
