The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A plug connector for establishing an electrical contact between first and second conducting track carriers, in particular between a flexible conductor foil and a circuit board, said plug connector comprising a plug part that has a plug housing provided with a cam surface, said first conducting track carrier being shiftably mounted to said plug housing such that it can be shifted, parallel to a plug-in direction of said plug part, starting from an advanced initial position into a retracted contact position, and further comprising a socket part that includes a socket housing, a pressure application spring and said second conducting track carrier which is received in said socket housing, said pressure application spring having two ends, one end of which forming a supported end received in said socket housing and the other end forming a pressing end cooperating with said first conducting track carrier if the latter is in said contact position, said pressing end of said pressure application spring being set under tension by said cam surface during inserting said plug part into said socket part and being released not until said plug part is inserted in said socket part to such an extent that said first conducting track carrier has reached its contact position.
2. The plug connector according to claim 1, wherein at least one of said conducting track carriers is a flexible conductor foil.
3. The plug connector according to claim 1, wherein at least one of said conducting track carriers is a circuit board.
4. The plug connector according to claim 1, wherein said first conducting track carrier is a molded plastics circuit board that is arranged on a carriage and wherein a sliding guide is provided by means of which said carriage is shiftably mounted to said plug housing.
5. The plug connector according to claim 4, wherein a return spring is provided which biases said carriage into said initial position.
6. The plug connector according to claim 4, wherein said carriage is also arranged so as to be shiftable in a direction perpendicular to said plug-in direction.
7. The plug connector according to claim 6, wherein said sliding guide releases said carriage, as soon as the latter has reached said contact position, in a manner such that it can be shifted by said pressing end of said pressure application spring in a direction perpendicular to said plug-in direction and towards said second conducting track carrier.
8. The plug connector according to claim 4, wherein said second conducting track carrier is a flexible conductor foil.
9. The plug connector according to claim 4, wherein said circuit board of said plug part is connected with a second conductor foil, said second conductor foil extending as far as to a solder surface on an end of said plug housing facing away from said carriage, so that said second conductor foil can be connected there with conducting tracks of a plug card to which said plug part is mounted.
10. The plug connector according to claim 9, wherein said conducting tracks of said circuit board are connected with said conducting tracks of said second conductor foil by means of bonding wires.
11. The plug connector according to claim 9, wherein said solder surface extends on said plug housing at an angle of approximately 20 relative to a plane of said plug card.
12. The plug connector according to claim 1, wherein plug contacts are arranged on said plug housing, which are capable of cooperate with complementary plug contacts in said socket housing.
