The invention relates to an electrical connecting module comprising at least one connector strip for electrically connecting wires and/or cables. The connector strip has at least one catch element and a rigid front panel. This front panel has at least one opening through which the connector strip can be partially inserted and which is cut open in the area of the catch element. The connector strip rests against the face of the front panel via a stopping edge. A securing element can be locked from the rear side of the front panel by the connector strip. This securing element is situated between the catch element and the front panel, and the closed contour of the securing element forms a stopping face on the rear side of the front panel. The securing element has an at least partially elastic design whereby being elastic in the area of the catch element. The invention also relates to a securing element suitable for the electrical connecting module.
An electrical connection module, comprising at least one terminal strip for electrically connecting wires and/or cables, the terminal strip having at least one latching element, a rigid front panel, the front panel having at least one opening, through which the terminal strip may be partially passed and which is cut free in the region of the latching element, the terminal strip resting on the front of the front panel by a stop edge, and a securing element latched over the terminal strip from the rear of the front panel, the securing element resting between the latching element and the front panel, and a continuous contour of the securing element forming a stop face on the rear of the front panel, the securing element being at least partially resilient, with the result that the securing element is resilient in the region of the latching element.
A securing element for fixing a terminal strip to a front panel, wherein the securing element has a continuous contour, the securing element being at least partially resilient.
