Abstract

A terminal unit with a housing and a cover is described, a cable receiving opening for a terminal module being provided in the cover. Contact members are arranged in the housing and held pivotably on the housing. The contact members have contacts which make electric contact with an electrical lead when the contact member is swivelled from an open position into a contact position. The contact members have seating surfaces which form a receiving chamber for a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board is part of the terminal module which can be slid into the aperture in the cover, conductors of the board making electric contact with the contacts of the contact members.
