Abstract

A stackable module has a housing provided to receive an electric/electronic component, and a clamping device for attachment to a support rail, wherein the clamping device has two latching/gripping hooks, which are displaceable in mutually opposite directions between an open position and a fastening position, and a force deflection mechanism for adjusting the latching/gripping hooks between the open position and the fastening position, said mechanism being actuable by means of an actuating element and able to be subjected to an actuating force from an outer side. In this case, the latching/gripping hooks bound a free opening distance which, for release fastening to the support rail, is greater in the open position and smaller in the fastening position than a provided support rail extent. In this case, provision is made for the force deflection mechanism to have an actuating-element-side deflection profile and a hook-side displacement part, which has a deformation portion which is deformable by a displacement force in order to generate a hook-side displacement, wherein between the deflection profile and the deformation portion, a sliding contact is able to be formed, at which the def…
