Abstract

An electronic module includes a front fin, a printed circuit board having connected terminals, a status display including a plurality of fiber optic guides which lead into the fin and serve as light-emitting elements, a front panel connector, and a front door attached to the front panel connector. The fin may include a bar on a housing shell which projects to the front side and of a counterpart bar on a housing cover. The plurality of fiber optic guides may be combined into one fiber optic comb. A swivel may be used to connect the front panel connector to the module. Flexible hinges may be used to connect the front door to the front panel connector and to mount the light-emitting elements to the printed circuit board.
