Abstract
In a rack system for inserting electrical printed circuit board assemblies, front elements (,) for slots are provided with projecting plug-in and withdrawable centering and contact elements (,). These elements have associated receiving elements (,) composed of electrically conductive material and are mounted with low impedance to a transverse connecting rail (,). During an insertion process, the receiving elements and the centering and contact elements come into contact in a centered manner. When inserted, the receiving elements and the centering and contact elements provide a vibration-proof mechanical connection with a high adhesion force and a low-impedance contact with a high current carrying capacity.
