Abstract
The input and/or output device for process data exhibits a subrack (1) and at least one assembly (2) mounted on the subrack (1) and a process connector (4) which can be frictionally introduced into the at least one assembly at the front. The at least one assembly (2) exhibits a circuit board (17) arranged in a housing and a connector strip (18) which is frictionally connected to the process connector (4). This device is to be of simple and appropriate design and, at the same time, loading of the circuit board (17) with large mechanical forces is to be avoided. This is achieved by the fact that the connector strip (18) is mechanically rigidly connected to the housing and contains elastically deformable terminal pins (21) on which the circuit board (17) is supported.
