Abstract
An exemplary Electronic-component housing may be placed onto a carrier rail with two interlocking spars extending longitudinally at a distance from each other and opening toward the longitudinal sides of the rails. An interlocking profile firmly affixed to the housing is positioned on the underside of the housing and across from the interlocking profile. A displaceable securing lock that is spring-loaded toward the interlocking profile. The securing lock may include on its end away from the interlocking profile a shaped drawbar eye for engagement with an actuation tool. The housing side wall above the securing lock and extending upward extends at least with its lower area in a plane perpendicular to the displacement direction of the securing lock and includes in this area a shaped tool-guide channel with its mouth pointed toward the drawbar eye on the securing lock. A wall section intersects at an obtuse angle inclined along the depth direction on the lower area of the housing side wall as far as the securing lock, and into which the lower section of the guide channel is formed as a recess. The outer end of the securing lock including the drawbar eye is recessed in its secured position behind the plane of the lower area of the housing wall.
