Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017102764A1] The invention relates to a rail socket (13) for connecting a module device (2) to a conductor member (4), the rail socket (13) comprising a conductor receptacle (29) adapted to receive the conductor member (4). Rail sockets (13) of the art have the disadvantages that mechanical and/or electrical connection between the rail socket (13) and a conductor member (4) may be degraded by means of tolerances of the conductor member (4). The present invention solves this problem by providing the rail socket (13) with at least one electrically conductive resilient contact member (15) which extends into the conductor receptacle (23).
