Abstract
A plug-connectible equipment combination has a plug module and an equipment socket with a latching connection. A rotation point is formed on the plug module between an attachment on the housing side for a latching arm and the latching catch of the latching arm. A pivoting section is formed between the rotation point and the latching catch and an actuating section for exerting pressure is formed between the rotation point and the attachment of the latching arm on the housing. The pivoting section of the latching arm pivots outwards about the rotation point and the latching catch is released from the mating latch.
Claims11
A pluggable device combination, comprising:
- a device bedplate having a bedplate base and plugging surfaces laterally flanking said bedplate base;
- a plug module projecting between said plugging surfaces, said plug module having a module housing and a latching arm formed on said module housing and extending in a direction towards said device bedplate;
- said latching arm extending from a housing-side connection at said module housing to an end formed with a latching hook;
- a mating latch formed on one of said plugging surfaces and configured to mate with said latching hook of said plug module for forming a pressure-releasable latching connection;
- said plug module having a pivot site formed between said housing-side connection of said latching arm and said latching hook of said latching arm;
- said latching arm having a pivoting section formed between said pivot site and said latching hook and an actuating section formed on said latching arm between said pivot site and said housing-side connection, wherein, when a pressure force is applied to said actuating section, said pivoting section of said latching arm pivots about said pivot site outwardly away and detaches said latching hook from said mating latch.
