Patent ID: 8913372

Claim:
A receiving module for building into a switching cabinet, comprising: a primary circuit mating contact element; and a communication mating contact element, wherein the receiving module can directly receive a power switch so that a primary circuit contact element of the power switch is directly electrically-conductively connected to the primary circuit mating contact element and a communication contact element of the power switch is directly electrically-conductively connected to the communication mating contact element, wherein the communication mating contact element is arranged in relation to the primary circuit mating contact element such that, in a first receiving position of the power switch in the receiving module the communication contact element is directly electrically-conductively connected to the communication mating contact element and the primary circuit mating contact element is not electrically-conductively connected to the primary circuit contact element and in a second receiving position of the power switch in the receiving module the primary circuit mating contact element is electrically-conductively connected to the primary circuit contact element and the communication mating contact element is electrically-conductively connected to the communication contact element, wherein the communication mating contact element comprises an electrically-conductive communication mating contact contact element spring-supported within a material that is a poor electrical conductor, for direct contact with the communication contact element, wherein the communication mating contact contact element establishes an electrically-conductive connection between the communication mating contact contact element and the side surface of the communication mating contact element via an electrically-conductive contact rail arranged on an inner side of a material which is a poor electrical conductor, with which the communication mating contact element is fastened to the receiving module.
