Abstract

Retention of replaceable subassemblies, with automatic forced disconnection. The invention relates to a terminal module 1 for locking a subassembly or a PS module 2 on the terminal module in a way that satisfies safety requirements. The subassembly 2 is hinged onto the terminal module 1. The terminal module 1 has a sliding catch 3 for fixing the subassembly 2 on the terminal module 1. Disconnection of electrical contacts is guaranteed during the hinging-on.
