Abstract

The invention relates to an interface for electrically contacting a printed circuit board (3) housed in a housing (4). The interface is formed as a double-sided and / or two-part interface (1, 2) by means of a first (1) and second (2) interface, and the interface has the following features: the first interface (1) has at least one first contact element (10) which is brought into electric contact with at least one terminal (30) of the printed circuit board (3); the second interface (2) has at least one second contact element (20); and the second interface (2) is designed to correspond to the first interface (1) and is arranged on an opening (40) of the housing (4) in a stationary manner such that the first (10) and second (20) contact element are brought into contact with each other, and the second contact element (20) provides a terminal which can be contacted from outside of the housing (4), wherein plug-in and / or pulling forces acting on the terminal are received by the second interface (2) and / or the housing (4). The second interface (2) can be suitably designed for connecting a plug connector (5) on the housing exterior, and the first contact element (10) can be suitably provided by a stamped bent contact (10).
