An electronic device that can be pushed onto a support rail ( ), having a housing ( ), with an electronic module that can be inserted detachably into the housing, and bus contacts are provided for the transmission of data and/or energy to neighboring electronic devices that are pushed onto the support rail ( ) and have an identical design, with appropriately designed bus terminal. The bus contacts can be displaced relative to the housing ( ). The bus contacts can be immobilized via a latching fixture so that when in a latched position they can be brought into contact of the bus terminals in the neighboring device.

Electronic device with data bus and energy bus connection

The invention relates to a field-bus connecting device having a motherboard which is arranged in an essentially square housing at the base and a plurality of modules which hold at least one connection element by means of a module mounting board, for connection to the motherboard, the housing having at the connection element end a plurality of receptacles for, in each case, one module and each module being detachably coupled to the motherboard by means of a connector arrangement which is plugged on to the motherboard, and the modules each comprise a module board which is connected to the respective module mounting board, is configured to correspond to the at least one connection element and couples the module to the motherboard by means of the connector arrangement, and the receptacles each have a receptacle space, open at the connection element end, for, in each case, one module with base-end openings for the connector arrangement.
