(right) angle pins

For example:
18-pole/way connector with (right) angle pins

Use 'pole' or 'way' to eliminate the duplication of 'pin'.

How about this one for a laugh: "Staight or light angled pins"

abgewinkelte "Beinchen" = bent terminals

"Beinchen" is used in the sense of the terminals (or pins). The are bent in a certain angle in order to enable circuit board mounting. So the "pins" are basically the same, but pins is more or less used to name the number of connections available, whereas for the indication of an mechanical/electrical connection the name terminal is preferred. In common use "Beinchen" stands for small legs of somebody or something.
