Plug-in module
A plug-in module for mounting on a mounting device is provided, the plug-in module including a housing with a rear mounting face and plug regions on the front face. At least one additional plug region is formed between the front face and the rear mounting face on the housing.
1. A plug-in module for mounting on a mounting device, the plug-in module having a housing comprising a rear mounting face, a front face arranged substantially parallel to the rear mounting face, opposed side faces extending between the rear mounting face and the front face, at least one first plug region on the front face, and at least one second plug region formed between the front face and the rear mounting face of the housing,
wherein a plurality of undercuts are provided in at least one side face of the housing, each of said undercut being recessed from the at least one side face and forming undercut surfaces; and
wherein the at least one second plug region comprises a plug socket which is formed in one of the undercut surfaces.
2. A plug-in module for mounting on a mounting device, the plug-in module having a housing comprising a rear mounting face, a front face arranged substantially parallel to the rear mounting face, opposed side faces extending between the rear mounting face and the front face, at least one first plug region on the front face, and at least one second plug region formed between the front face and the rear mounting face of the housing, wherein at least one undercut is formed in at least one of the side faces, the undercut being recessed from the at least one side face and forming undercut surfaces; and
wherein the at least one second plug region comprises a plug socket which is formed in one of the undercut surfaces and
wherein the at least one second plug region is arranged in a surface of the undercut surfaces that faces toward the front face.
3. A plug-in module for mounting on a mounting device, the plug-in module having a housing comprising a rear mounting face, a front face arranged substantially parallel to the rear mounting face, opposed side faces extending between the rear mounting face and the front face, at least one first plug region on the front face, and at least one second plug region formed between the front face and the rear mounting face of the housing,
wherein a plurality of undercuts are formed in at least one of the side faces, at least one of said plurality of undercuts being recessed from the at least one side face and forming undercut surfaces; and wherein the at least one second plug region comprises a plug socket which is formed in one of the undercut surfaces at a distance from the at least one side face, and wherein the plurality of undercuts are situated one behind the other as seen from the front face.
4. The plug-in module as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising at least a fixing member for securing a cable of a plug for at least the second plug-in region provided on at least one side face of the housing.
5. The plug-in module as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the at least one undercut in the at least one side face of the housing is arranged symmetrically with respect to the at least one undercut in the other side face of the housing.
6. The plug-in module as claimed in claim 3 , comprising at least a pair of fixing members provided on the at least one side face of the housing and arranged in a laterally and vertically spaced apart relation with respect to one another on the at least one side face of the housing.
7. A plug-in module for mounting on a mounting device, the plug-in module having a housing comprising a rear mounting face, a front face arranged substantially parallel to the rear mounting face, opposed side faces extending between the rear mounting face and the front face, at least one first plug region located on the front face, and at least one second plug region located between the front face and the rear mounting face, wherein a longitudinal extension axis of the first plug region extends perpendicularly with respect to the front face, a longitudinal extension axis of the second plug region extends at an acute angle relative to the longitudinal extension axis of the first plug region, and the second plug region is positioned within a projected area of the front face.
8. The plug-in module as claimed in claim 7 , wherein said acute angle is less than 45°.
