Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1217693A2] Modules (10) fit next to each other in a row on a support block (1) and have connectors and an insulating case. A conductor rail section forms a conductor rail. Bridges connect conductor rail sections on the support block adjacent to the modules. The case and the support block have devices (5,6,25,26) for plugging a module into the support block crosswise to the lengthwise direction of the support block.
