Abstract

A switching device having a housing, with a cover that can pivot about a rotational axis, and a securing device for carrier rail mounting. The cover has at least one coupling contact for an electrical and/or signal-type contact connection with at least one engageable switching device. A closing or releasing of the contact connection occurs with a pivoting of the cover. A locking or unlocking of the securing device occurs with a pivoting of the cover. The securing device has a spring-elastic clipping element shaped on the housing, for force-locking securing to a carrier rail end face, and has a sliding element, which is mounted such that it can slide in a linear manner within the housing and is coupled to the cover, for interlocking securing to the carrier rail end face opposite the clipping element.
