Claims13
An electronic appliance, comprising:
- housing;
- a circuit carrier guidable into the housing in a displaceable manner by a spring contact adapted to act against a housing stop, wherein the spring contact is adapted to interact and make electrical contact with a respective contact area of the circuit, the circuit carrier being boardlike and being guidable in a displaceable manner perpendicularly with regard to the board plane thereof, the circuit carrier having a respective indentation at two opposite side edges, and a corresponding housing projection protruding into the housing being accommodated in said indentation in a positively locking manner.
The electronic appliance as claimed in 1, wherein the housing, adapted to acted on with the circuit carrier against the housing stop by the spring element, is further adapted to be closed by a housing cover that is adapted to be emplaced on the axis along which the spring element acts.
