Abstract
An input/output module for a data bus includes an insulating housing that is secured on a support rail, with the housing being provided with terminals to receive wires of the bus at side-by-side positions on a surface of the housing. The housing is mounted so that it can swivel with respect to a supporting rail. A printed circuit board can be inserted like a drawer into the housing, and once the printed circuit board is completely inserted, the electronic components on the printed circuit board are electrically connected to the bus.
