A mounting system for electrical modules (10) having a housing (12) with a rail mounting face (14) including a rail receiving recess (17), includes a pair of spring loaded rail engaging clamps (80) disposed on the mounting face (14) and movable between a first or latched position and a second or open position. Each clamp (80) includes a body portion (85) having a spring receiving cavity (85a), a base (82) extending outwardly from a lower edge of the body portion in one direction and a rail engaging arm (88) extending outwardly from an upper edge of the body portion and in a direction opposite to the base. The body portion (85) includes a wall (86) extending at an angle from the base to the arm and defining a rail latching surface (86a). A partially compressed spring disposed (90) in the cavity (85a) exerts a selected force to hold the clamps (80) in the latched position.
