A double-row angle pin connector is provided for a patch plug that has an
insertion direction that is parallel to the printed circuit board. The
angle pin connector comprises angle pins (8) arranged in two rows in an
inner, patch plug-side row (12) as well as in an outer row (13). The
angle pins (8) have printed circuit board-side soldered ends (6) and
patch plug-side plugged ends (5). The angle pin connector furthermore
includes a housing bottom (14) and a housing cover (15) for fixing the
angle pins (8). The soldered ends (6) arranged in the patch plug-side row
(12) are fixed between the housing bottom (14) and the housing cover (15)
by housing support straps (17) bent during the mounting of the housing.
The arrangement provides reliably operating multi-pole patch plugs,
without angle plugs with a separate extrusion coating, whereby
installation space and costs can thus be saved.
