Abstract

A device for transferring electric signals comprises a first unit having a bus and electrical and mechanical interconnections of this bus and a bus of another device at at least one side of the unit. A second unit has terminals electrically connected to the bus for external connection of the device to, and signal exchange with, electrical arrangements. The device further comprises two different carriers on which the bus unit and the terminal unit, respectively, are arranged, and members for releasable mechanical connection of the two carriers to each other, and adapted to allow separation of the terminal unit from the bus unit with maintained connection thereof to the bus unit of an adjacent device.
