Claim:
An electronic-component housing to be placed onto a carrier rail with two interlocking spars extending longitudinally at a distance from each other and opening toward a longitudinal sides of the rails, to which an interlocking profile firmly affixed to the housing is positioned on an underside of the housing and across from the interlocking profile, at a distance is a displaceable securing lock that is spring-loaded toward the interlocking profile, whereby the securing lock includes on its end away from the interlocking profile a shaped drawbar eye for engagement with an actuation tool, and whereby a housing side wall above the securing lock and extending upward extends at least with its a lower area in a plane perpendicular to a displacement direction of the securing lock, and includes in this area a shaped tool-guide channel with its a mouth pointed toward the drawbar eye on the securing lock, characterized in that a wall section intersects at an obtuse angle inclined along a depth direction on the lower area of the housing side wall as far as the securing lock, and into which the lower section of the guide channel is formed as a recess, whereby an outer end of the securing lock including the drawbar eye is recessed in its secured position behind a plane of the lower area of the housing side wall.
