Abstract:
An input/output device includes a terminal base to be mounted to a structure. A terminal block is connected to the terminal base and includes wiring terminals to be connected to I/O field wiring. A latch body is connected to the terminal block. The latch body is manually movable between an unlatched position and a latched position. An input/output module is connected to the terminal base adjacent the terminal block and includes a locking tab. The latch body, when in the latched position, engages the locking tab and captures the input/output module to the terminal block. The terminal block includes first and second module retaining rails or projections that engage respective slots of the input/output module to restrain the module relative to the terminal base. The terminal base includes first and second notches that receive inner ends of the first and second module retaining projections to rigidify the terminal base.

Claim (Index 15):
The input/output device as set forth in  claim 14 , wherein:\n said input/output module is selectively installed on and removed from the terminal base by linear movement of the input/output module along a module insertion/removal axis that is oriented perpendicularly to the latching axis; said locking tab projects outwardly from a lower wall of the input/output module that lies adjacent said terminal block; said latch further comprises a latching slot provided in said terminal block adjacent said lower wall of said input/output module; said locking tab of said input/output module is received in said latching slot; and, said latch body at least partially overlies the locking tab to capture the locking tab in the latching slot of the terminal block between the latch body and the locking tab when the latch body in located in its latched position.
