Abstract

In an electrical switching or control unit, several components are arranged, sealed, within a housing (24). A plug body (10) is accommodated in an aperture (14) of a collar-like front plate (13) which itself is fixed to the edge of the housing (24). The connection between the plug body (10) and the front plate (13) is made by an locking cam (21) which is inserted in grooves (18, 19) which are opposite each other in the front plate (13) and the plug body (10) and which is fixed in its position by the housing (24).
