Abstract

A component carrier for circuit boards equipped with electrical and electronic components and insertable on guide rails has two parallel side walls as well as four front and rear module rails which connect the side walls and support the guide rails. In order to prevent twisting of the module rails relative to the side walls and permit accurate assembly, the side walls are provided, for the fastening of the module rails, with groups of fastening elements in the form of holes and with pins that project toward the interior. Each one of these groups of fastening elements has four fixing pins that are disposed in the corners of a rectangle and form two pairs and each group additionally has an associated fastening hole. The profiles of the module rails here engage matingly into the space between each pair of fixing pins.
