Abstract
The present invention relates to a bridging module (300) for electrically connecting a functional component of a component assembly system, said bridging module comprising a module housing (337) which has an interlocking device (301) for detachably and interlockingly holding the bridging module (300) on a profiled mounting rail.
Claims14
A bridging module electrically connectable to a functional component of a component assembly system, comprising:
- a module housing which has a form-fitting device for holding the bridging module on a profiled mounting rail in a detachable and form-fitting manner,
- wherein the form-fitting device comprises a latching device for latching the bridging module onto the profiled mounting rail,
- the latching device having a resilient latching section configured to engage laterally over the profiled mounting rail,
- wherein the resilient latching section comprises a latching lug configured to engage behind the profiled mounting rail,
- wherein the resilient latching section is configured to bend outward and then snap in during placement of the bridging module on the profiled mounting rail, and
- wherein the bridging module comprises a projecting centering section to be located between two mounting profiles of the profiled mounting rail.
