An electronic device includes: a housing which has two side walls which are spaced apart from one another along an apposition direction and form an accommodation space between them; a printed circuit board which is insertable into the accommodating space of the housing along an insertion direction pointing transversely to the apposition direction and, in a mounting position, is accommodated in the accommodating space in a position perpendicular to the apposition direction and has a side edge extending along the insertion direction; and at least one attachment part which has at least one engagement receptacle by which the at least one attachment part is attachable to the side edge of the printed circuit board and, in an attached position, is connected to the printed circuit board.

Electronic device having a printed circuit board

A modular system for producing an electronic device includes: a housing, which forms an accommodating space; a printed circuit board which is insertable along an insertion direction into the accommodating space of the housing and, in a mounting position, is accommodated in the accommodating space; and a plurality of attachment parts, which are connectable to the printed circuit board and which, when viewed along the insertion direction, each have a division corresponding to a predetermined smallest dividing unit or an integral multiple of the predetermined smallest dividing unit. Each attachment part has a first guide device for guiding on a second guide device of the housing and a combination of attachment parts is connectable to the printed circuit board in a manner arranged next to one another along the insertion direction such that when the printed circuit board is inserted into the accommodating space, the combination is guided.

Modular system for producing an electronic device

A modular electronic housing includes: a housing series body whose receiving chamber houses an electronic component; and a maintaining device for maintaining the electronic component on the housing series body, the maintaining device having at least one holding body for the electronic component, which holding body is materially bonded to the housing series body in a bonding position.

Modular electronic housing for housing electronic components and a method for producing the same

Connection between an electrical device and a stationary base part, with a plug type connector which can be fixed in floating fashion to a fixing plate of the device and with a corresponding mating plug type connector which can be fixed to the base part, wherein the mating plug type connector has a housing at least one guide hole. Compensation between the plug type connector and the mating plug type connector is possible when joining the electrical device to the stationary base part by at least one screw hole being formed in the housing of the plug type connector for a fixing screw which passes through the screw hole into a fixing plate of the electrical device, the diameter of the screw head being greater than the diameter of the screw hole, and the diameter of the screw neck being substantially smaller than the diameter of the screw hole.

Electrical device with a plug-type connector and electrical plug-type connection

A terminating and connecting device with a housing having a lower and upper housing parts, at least one contact spring for electrically contacting at least one terminal lead, at least one terminal element for connecting at least one cable, and at least one metal part for connecting the contact spring to a cable connected by the terminal element. The housing upper part has at least one actuating element and a contact spring. The contact spring has two contact legs connected by a back, and the lower housing part has a top spring has two spring legs and a back which connects the spring legs. When the housing upper part is pressed onto the housing lower part, the actuating element presses on the back of the top spring so that the top spring moves into a position such that the terminal lead is clamped between the contact legs.

Terminating and connecting device

A mounting plate includes a first fixing device for an electrical device and a second fixing device for a top-hat shaped mounting rail having a first offset support flange and a second offset support flange. The second fixing device includes a first holder and a second holder each having a contact portion and each being disposed mirror-symmetrically about a longitudinal axis of the mounting plate on a rear surface of the mounting plate. The second fixing device further includes an abutment opposite the first and second holders, and a metal projection configured to clamp at least one of the first and second offset support flanges against the contact portions of the first and second holders. The projection is configured to deform upon clamping of the at least one of the offset support flanges.

Mounting plate with fixing means for an electrical device

An electronics housing for placement on a support rail includes a base part and an upper part. The base part and the upper part can be detachably connected to one another, and the base part can be snapped to the support rail. Two housing side walls having fasteners are disposed opposite to each other and are disposed parallel to each other. The housing side walls are also disposed perpendicular to the support rail. A circuit board is disposed parallel to the support rail using the fasteners. At least two connection terminals or plug-in connectors are provided for connecting the electrical conductors. The connection terminals are electrically connectable to the circuit board.
