  • the locking element 134 of the respective locking element 126 is mounted on the holding frame 111 so as to be displaceable transversely to the insertion direction E.
  • a spring element 139 in the form of a spiral spring is arranged between the actuating lever 135 and the locking element 134 of a locking element 126, which can apply a tensioning force between the actuating lever 135 and the locking element 134.
  • the locking element 134 has a bent locking edge 140 with which the locking element 134 can be inserted position in the recess 127 of the housing part 110, as shown in Fig. 14 can be seen.
  • the locking edge 140 is bent here at a 90° angle to the remaining area of the locking element 134.
  • the spring elements 118 When inserting the holding frame 111 into the housing part 110 in the insertion direction E, the spring elements 118 first come into contact with the support sections 117 and are actuated in the same way as in the Fig. 3 to 11 shown configurations. As soon as the flange sections 119 of the holding frame 111 also rest on the support sections 117, the spring force of the spring elements 139 pushes the locking elements 134 with their locking edge 140 into the respective recess 127 on the housing part 110, where they can hook behind in order to form a fastening and thus a locking connection between the holding frame 111 and the housing part 110 in the inserted position. This locking connection can be released again by a manual pivoting movement of the actuating lever 135.
  • the spring elements 118 form both an electrical contact, in particular a PE contact, between the holding frame 111 and the housing part 110 and, in the inserted position, they simultaneously exert at least a compressive force D on the locking elements 126 in order to be able to hold them securely in the respective recess 127, so that no unintentional detachment of the holding frame 111 from the housing part 110 can occur.
  • the compressive force D applied by the tensioned spring elements 118 acts counter to the insertion direction E, whereby the locking elements 126 are pressed against an upper edge 143 of the respective recess 127 of the housing part 110.
  • All holding frames 111 shown here have a receiving space 141 into which preferably several contact inserts can be inserted.
