Receiving socket for receiving and making contact with an electronic module

1. An assembly, comprising:

an electronic module for insertion into a receiving socket,

with an electronic circuit and

with a first contact blade and a second contact blade which are each electrically connected to the electronic circuit,

wherein at least one of the contact blades has an electrical contact area formed on a front side and an insulating area formed on a rear side; and

the receiving socket for receiving and making contact with the electronic module which comprises the electronic circuit which is electrically connected to the first contact blade and the second contact blade,

with a first electrical contact area to make contact with the first contact blade of the module,

with a second electrical contact area to make contact with the second contact blade of the module, and

with a contact element which electrically connects the first contact area to the second contact area in order to forward an electrical signal when the module is removed,

wherein the first contact blade of the module can be received between the first electrical contact area and the contact element and

wherein the second contact blade of the module can be received between the second electrical contact area and the contact element,

wherein

the module has a symmetrical structure that can be inserted into the receiving socket in two different orientations, wherein the positions of the contact blades are exchanged,

the receiving socket is adapted to receive the module in the two different orientations rotated by 180 degrees relative to each other, wherein in the two different orientations, when the module is inserted, an electrical connection produced by the contact element electrically connecting the first electrical contact area to the second electrical contact area of the receiving socket is interrupted by the insulating area on the rear side of the at least one contact blades.

2. The assembly according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the contact blades of the module can be clamped between the contact areas and the contact element.

3. The assembly according to claim 1 ,

wherein

at least one of the contact areas or the contact element is pre-tensioned to clamp in the contact blades of the module.

4. The assembly according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the contact areas are arranged in a shared plane.

5. The assembly according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the module can be linearly inserted.

6. The assembly according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the receiving socket comprises a housing with at least one guide rail to receive and linearly guide the module.

7. The assembly according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the receiving socket comprises a U-shaped housing with a receiving space to receive the module.

8. The assembly according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the contact element is designed as a contact plate.

9. The assembly according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the first electrical contact area is electrically connected to a signal input and the second electrical contact area is electrically connected to a signal output.

10. The assembly according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the module can be positioned in the receiving socket in two different orientations, wherein the contact blades of the module are each received between the contact areas and the contact element of the receiving socket,

in a first orientation of the module an electrical contact exists between the first contact blade of the module and the first contact area of the receiving socket and also between the second contact blade of the module and the second contact area of the receiving socket and

in a second orientation of the module the electrical contact between the at least one of the contact blades of the module and the corresponding contact area of the receiving socket is interrupted by the insulating area formed on the rear side of the at least one of the contact blades.

11. The assembly according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the assembly is arranged in a switching circuit.
