ELECTRONIC PLUG-IN MODULE FOR ACCOMMODATION IN MODULE RACK

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely and firmly fix an electronic plug-in module to module rack. SOLUTION: An electronic plug-in module 4 for accommodation in a module rack with a mounting rail includes a circuit board 5, a front panel 6, and a mounting device 9. The mounting device 9 comprises a bearing part 10, a tensioning member 11, and a fixing member 13. The mounting device 9 is disposed on the front panel 6, and the bearing part 10 is fixed to a front surface 19 of the front panel 6 and has a hole 16, extending in the axial direction, such that the tensioning member 11 can be inserted to the hole; and the tensioning member 11 is firmly connected to the fixing member 13 and the bearing part 10, in such a manner that the force, by means of which the plug-in module 4 is held with the front panel 6 in a defined position relative to the module rack 1, is exerted on the plug-in module 4 transversely, in a direction of inserting the plug-in module 4 to a module rack 1.
