Claim:
1. A connection system for electrical devices, comprising; first and second connection modules, each of the first and second connection module including a first connection device, the first connection module further including a second connection device and the second connection module further including a third connection device, the first and second connection modules each being able to accommodate a device so that, when the accommodated device and the first or second connection module are in a coupled state, there is a direct electrical connection between the first connection device of the first or second connection module and the accommodated device and a direct mechanical connection between the first or second connection module and the accommodated device, wherein the second connection device of the first connection module is configured to directly lock to the third connection device of the second connection module so that, in the coupled state, the first connection module is electrically and mechanically connected to the second connection module, wherein the third connection device is disposed and implemented such that, when the second connection device and the third connection device are in the coupled state, mechanical and electrical disconnections of the first connection module from the second connection module is prevented if the second connection module has received the accommodated device, wherein the second connection device includes a snap lug which is configured to latch into a snap lug counterpart of the third connection device, wherein the snap lug counterpart is deflected into a region which is occupied by the received device during mechanical coupling of the first connection module to the second connection module, and wherein the first and second connection modules each includes a top-hat rail mount.
