With the completion of the sliding process, the springs 31, 32 surround with the extensions 311, 321, the circuit board, press on this and form with the line films 21, 22 galvanic line-shaped contacts. In addition, this embodiment also prevents the springs with the bevelled extension from detaching from the circuit board or the line films.
