A control system for mounting to a vertically-extending rail. The control system includes a plurality of bases, each having a channel formed therein that is adapted for mounting to the rail. A plurality of modules are provided for removable mounting to the bases, respectively. Each module has circuitry for processing control signals and a housing enclosing the circuitry. At least a bottom end of each housing has openings therein to permit air to flow into the housing and over the circuitry. A plurality of air flow deflectors are provided for mounting to the bases, respectively. When the modules and the air flow deflectors are mounted to the bases, the air flow deflectors form pockets with the bottom ends of the modules. The pockets have enlarged openings disposed parallel to sides of the modules.

A monitoring-and-control drawer for an electrical enclosure is connected to an electricity source and to an electrical load and is linked to at least one communication interface allowing the drawer to be supplied with power or to communicate with an industrial computer. The monitoring-and-control drawer is mobile within the enclosure between three main positions: a disconnected position, a test position, and an operating position. At least one lateral structure comprises a mobile lateral contact (352) comprising electrical contacts (436) which, during the movement of the drawer between the test position and the operating position, are fixed with respect to a communication interface and connect the drawer to this interface. The electrical contacts are mobile along a longitudinal axis of the drawer with respect to the drawer when the drawer is between an engagement position and its operating position and are mobile along a transverse axis of the drawer when the drawer is between its engagement position and its test position.

A drive carrier includes a latch wire, and a track that includes first and second segments. The latch wire is configured to move along a channel in the track to enable a handle of the drive carrier to transition between multiple positions within the track. The first segment is to be placed in physical communication with the latch wire while the latch wire is at a first position and a second position within the track. The second segment is in physical communication with the first segment. The second segment is to transition between a misaligned position and an aligned position with respect to the first segment, and the latch wire is to transition from the second position to a third position within the track in response to the second segment being in the aligned position.

The electronic device may include a housing including a front, a back and at least a first side and an opposing second side extending between the front and the back, a printed circuit board housed by the housing, and an electrical connector electrically connected to the printed circuit board. The electrical connector may include a first spring contact, a second spring contact, and an electrically conductive bridge mechanically and electrically connecting the first spring contact and the second spring contact. The electrically conductive bridge may be housed by the housing. The first and second spring contacts may extend outside of the housing and may be accessible from the first and second sides of the housing, respectively.

The invention concerns a functional component (400) for a component construction system (100) for electrical connection to a bridge module (300) which comprises a housing (421) with a component-securing arrangement (401) for securing the functional component (400) to a support profile rail (200).

The present invention relates to a modular component assembly system comprising a supporting profiled rail (200) and at least one bridging module (300) for electrically connecting at least one functional component, wherein the bridging module (300) comprises a modular locking means (301) for locking the bridging module (300) onto the supporting profiled rail (200).
