Abstract (en)

[origin: US5299957A] The electrical apparatus, for example a switching device includes an enclosure (2), elements (62, 64, 66) for mounting it accordingly to at least two mounting methods, and connection blocks (8, 10) attached to the enclosure (2) and which can be moved in such a way that the screws (56) are accessible for clamping the connection wires (60) from the front or from the rear of the apparatus. The flexible hooking lugs (64, 66) which are used for the rail mounting (68) are secured by the connection blocks (8, 10) in their rear position. Moving the connection blocks (8, 10) ensures that the openings giving access to the unused clamping screws (68) are blocked out.
