Abstract: A skin-mountable medical device having a mounting plate having a bottom side attachable to the skin of a user and a medical module, in particular, an analyte sensing device or a drug administration pump. A snap connector releasably attaches the medical module on the upper side of the mounting plate. The snap connector has a release flap that can be actuated by the user to detach the medical module, and the release flap projects outwardly from the mounting plate and at its bottom side maintains a clearance to avoid an interfering skin contact in use.
