Patent attributes
A multi-pole, multi-row plug-and-socket connector with shielding, for placement on printed circuit boards, circuit cards, and similar electrical components, which can be used in an electrical or electronic system includes electrical contact parts for the transmission of signals, which possess a connection section on one end and an electrically conductive attachment section on the other end, as well as an electrical shielding, which possesses at least one electrically conductive contact section. The free ends of the electrically conductive attachment sections of the electrical contact parts are SMD contacts. The at least one electrically conductive contact section of the shielding is, at the same time, an attachment pin which projects into a passage hole of the printed circuit board when the plug-and-socket connector is disposed on the same, for the purpose of connective soldering using THR technology.
