Abstract

A base strip for connection to at least one plug connector part includes a housing which has a wall portion and at least one plug-in location, into which the at least one plug connector part can he inserted; at least one contact element arranged on the wall portion of the housing for electrically contacting to the plug connector part; and at least one dome which is arranged on the wall portion, protrudes from the wall portion, and has an opening through which the at least one contact element extends in an insertion direction and in which the contact element is held. The dome has two portions which are spaced apart from one another transversely to the insertion direction and are separated from one another by a slot.

First claim

1 . A base strip for connection to at least one plug connector part, comprising:
a housing which has a wall portion and at least one ping-in location, into which the at least one plug connector part is configured to be inserted; at least one contact element arranged on the wall portion of the housing configured for electrically contacting to the plug connector part; and at least one dome which is arranged on the wall portion, protrudes from the wall portion, and has an opening through which the at least one contact element extends in an insertion direction and in which the contact element is held, wherein the dome has two portions which are spaced apart from one another transversely to the insertion direction and are separated from one another by a slot.

2 . The base strip according to claim 1 , wherein the portions are diametrically opposed and form the opening between them.

3 . The base strip according to claim 1 , wherein the dome is cylindrical, and the slot divides the dome into two semi-cylindrical portions.

4 . The base strip according to claim 1 , wherein the slot is formed in the dome in the insertion direction, from an upper side of the dome remote from the wall portion, and extends between the portions transversely to the insertion direction.

5 . The base strip according to claim 1 , wherein the base strip extends along a longitudinal axis, and a plurality of plug-in locations are mutually offset along the longitudinal axis.

6 . The base strip according to claim 5 , wherein the slot extends along an inclined axis, extending transversely to the insertion direction, at an acute angle of between 30° and 60° to the longitudinal axis.

7 . The base strip according to claim 6 , wherein the slot has two slot portions which extend from the opening in the dome in opposite directions along the inclined axis.

8 . The base strip according to claim 7 , wherein the slot portions are mutually offset transversely to the inclined axis and transversely to the insertion direction.

9 . The base strip according to claim 1 , wherein the plug connector part is configured to be inserted into the at least one plug-in location in the insertion direction, the at least one dome protruding from the wall portion of the housing in the insertion direction.

10 . The base strip according to claim 1 , wherein the base strip is configured to be arranged on a circuit board.

11 . An electronic device comprising:
a circuit board; and a base strip according to claim 1 connected to the circuit board.
