The device includes: a housing; arranged in the housing a first components which has at least one terminally-protruding contact pin; a second component which has a socket on which terminally-located contact plugs are provided for receiving the contact pins; and an insert in which the first component is arranged. The insert includes a secluded chamber which has an opening into which the socket of the second component is introduced. The chamber additionally includes a rear wall lying opposite the opening through which the contact pins are stuck into the contact plugs of the socket. An air-tight seal exists between the contact pins and the rear wall. The housing is filled with the casting material from an end lying opposite to the opening of the chamber.

Electrotechnical device

A device is provided for the detachable fastening of one or more instruments (1) at one or more locations and their electrical connection to a cable (5) having one or more wires, using at least one fastening element which is mounted at one of the locations, in which device each instrument (1) has a snap mounting (12) by means of which it can be locked onto the respective fastening element, in which the electrical connection of the respective instrument (1) is carried out while it is being locked on, in which a cable mounting (4) is arranged on the fastening element, which cable mounting has a profile (45) reproducing the line shape, into which the line (5) is inserted, and which has a guide element which, while the instrument (1) is being locked on, engages into an identically-shaped recess (13) on the instrument (1), and in which the connection of the respective instrument (1) to the wires of the line (5) while the respective snap mounting (12) is being locked onto the respective fastening element is carried out, according to a first solution variant, by penetration contacts (6) arranged on the respective instrument (1), or is carried out, according to a second solution variant, by penetration contacts (91) arranged in a cover (9) arranged between instrument (1) and cable mounting (4), said penetration contacts being electrically connected to plug contacts (92) which are arranged on the cover (9) and which, in turn, engage in plug connectors (15) arranged on the instrument (1) while the latter is being locked on.
