Abstract
An actuating element for inserting and removing a flat module by leverage, the element having an end piece designed to be connected to a flat module. An actuating lever, which is pivotally mounted on the end piece, has at least one grip section and a locking element, which can be displaced, particularly slid between two connection positions. In a first connection position, the actuating lever retains the flat module in its inserted state and in a second connection position, the actuating lever is released to remove the module by leverage. The actuating element has a connecting element, which is activated in the first connection position of the locking element, which can be displaced into a third connection position, in which the actuating lever is retained in the first position, corresponding to the inserted state of the flat module and in which the connecting element is disconnected.
