The invention relates to an accommodating device having a one-piece support that prevents damage to a circuit board and its contacts even with frequent installation and dismantling of mounting rail module cases. This is achieved in particular by the fact that the module case can be detached from an integral mounting rail of the support by pivoting it in the direction of the circuit board. This special pivoting is made possible by the fact that the integral mounting rail and the holding area of the circuit board are separated from one another spatially so that even in the installed state, the mounting rail module case and the circuit board are mechanically decoupled.
A device for accommodating mounting rail module cases, which contain components that are to be contacted electrically, the device comprising a one-piece support which has a first holding area for loosely holding at least one circuit board and a second holding area having an integral mounting rail for holding at least one mounting rail module case, wherein the first holding area and the second holding area are arranged at a distance from one another so that the at least one mounting rail module case can be released from the integral mounting rail by pivoting it in the direction of the circuit board.
