Abstract

Arrangement for establishing and/or breaking a connection between a plug and a complementary mating plug, wherein a lever which can be pivoted about an axis is arranged on the plug. The connection between the plug and the mating plug can be broken when the lever is pivoted into a disconnection position and/or can be established when the lever is pivoted into a connection position. The plug is, in particular, a switch module, for example a tripping module for a mating plug which is in the form of a circuit breaker.
