Abstract

An operating element for engaging and extraction of a planar sub-assembly with an end-piece prepared for connection to the planar sub-assembly. An operating lever rotatably mounted on the end-piece has at least one grip section and a locking element which may be displaced, in particular shifted between at least two switch positions, whereby in a first switch position, the operating lever is held in a state with the planar sub-assembly in an engaged position and in a second switch position, the operating lever is released for extraction. The operating lever has at least one combined display/switching element.
