FITTING ELEMENT FOR FITTING TO A CIRCUIT BOARD AS WELL AS FITTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SPACED CONNECTION OF CIRCUIT BOARDS WITH SUCH A FITTING ELEMENT

摘要

A securing element (4) has a first securing section (6) for connection to a spacer element (5) and a second locking section (7) for locking to a printed circuit board (3). Arranged between the securing section (6) and the locking section (7) is a middle section (8) that is used to form a first stop (11) for the spacer element (5) and a second stop (12) for the printed circuit board (3). The securing element (4) is connected to an associated spacer element (5) to form a securing apparatus (1). The spacer element (5) is secured to a first printed circuit board (2). Next, a second printed circuit board (3) is locked to the securing element (4). In this way, two printed circuit boards (2, 3) can be connected to one another in spaced fashion in a simple, flexible and automated manner.
