Abstract: An inverter includes an upper and lower housing part and electronic components arranged in the upper and lower housing parts. The components are electrically connected to one another in a releasable manner by means of a contact-making system formed from two parts. In order to produce an electrical and mechanical connection by means of a pivoting movement, the upper housing part is connected to the lower housing part in a manually detachable manner by means of a rotating element which forms an axis of rotation for a circle arc. In the upper and lower housing parts, a part of the contact-making system is respectively arranged along the circle arc in such a way that these parts, during a pivoting movement of the upper housing part relative to the lower housing part into an operating position, can be automatically electrically-connected, with the housing parts connected.

Abstract: The invention relates to an inverter (1), comprising an upper and lower housing part (33, 34), wherein electronic components are arranged in the upper and lower housing parts (33, 34), said components being electronically connected to one another in a releasable manner by means of a contact-making system (40) formed from two parts.
