Abstract: The input and/or output device for process data has a mounting rack (1), as well as a plurality of modules (2) fastened on the mounting rack (1). A process connector (4) can be inserted into each of the modules (2) on the front side in each case. Each module (2) has a circuit board (17) which is arranged in a housing (8), as well as a terminal strip (18) which is connected non-positively to the process connector (4). The terminal strip (18) serves to receive contact pins (26) which interact with contacts of the process connector (4). The input and/or output device is intended to demonstrate a high degree of operational reliability even in the case of a high level of mechanical and electromagnetic stresses.

Abstract: The input and/or output device for process data exhibits a subrack (1) and at least one assembly (2) mounted on the subrack (1) and a process connector (4) which can be frictionally introduced into the at least one assembly at the front. The at least one assembly (2) exhibits a circuit board (17) arranged in a housing and a connector strip (18) which is frictionally connected to the process connector (4). This device is to be of simple and appropriate design and, at the same time, loading of the circuit board (17) with large mechanical forces is to be avoided. This is achieved by the fact that the connector strip (18) is mechanically rigidly connected to the housing and contains elastically deformable terminal pins (21) on which the circuit board (17) is supported.
