Abstract

A latching foot assembly for latching electrical components on a support rail includes first and second latching feet or members each including first and second resilient clamping portions between which the support rail is latched or grasped. A latching finger is integral with the first clamping portion of each latching foot. The first clamping portions of the latching feet are connected in interlocking fashion. The latching finger of the first clamping portion of the first latching foot has a support surface for supporting the support rail in a latched state. The support surface extends farther in the direction of the second clamping portion than a support surface for supporting the support rail in the latched state of the latching finger of the first clamping portion of the at least one second latching foot.
