Abstract

A device for fastening an electronic module on a mounting rail and an electronic module fastened with the device on a mounting rail are provided. The device has a displaceable nose, encompassing a profile of the mounting rail together with a stationary nose provided on the back of a housing of the electronic module. The displaceable nose is configured as a clamping profile of a slide. By plugging in mechanical anchorings, the device is mounted in recesses of the housing on the back of the electronic module. The device has a spring mechanism provided to support the electronic module on the housing. A clamping force of the device on the mounting rail results from a force to the slide applied by the spring mechanism. An end of the slide opposite of the displaceable nose protrudes beyond the housing of the electronic module for the manual displacement of the displaceable nose.
