Abstract

A device for the mechanical fastening and electrical contact with at least one control element (2), having first electrical contacts (9a, 9b), within a housing (3). Mating second electrical contacts (11a, 11b) are arranged on a connecting element (4) which can also be plugged into the housing (3). During assembly, the at least one control element (2) and the connecting element (4) are both plugged into the housing (3) so that such plugging engagement achieves electrical connection between the first electrical contacts (9a, 9b) and the second electrical contacts (11a, 11b) and, at the same time, an interlocked fastening of the at least one control element (2) with the housing (3).
