A module carrier with a plug module (2) can be moved into and out of a rear final position (10) with an insertion and removal grip (5). A spring-actuated lock (112) at the front side (7), which secures the insertion and removal grip in the rear final position, actuates a switching element (11) for an active switching of the plug module after an effective locking position has been reached. A pressing down of the lock (12) effects a passive switching in the locked state before the insertion and removal grip (5) is unlocked after a further displacement distance of the lock and mechanically stores the unlocking in cooperation with lock (112) by means of an engagement surface (120) with the shape of a circular segment, which is held back by a guide surface (21) of the insertion and removal grip (5).

1. A module carrier comprising a plug module which is introducible by means of guides in a housing and which is provided with at least one insertion and removal grip in the form of a lever which is journalled on an axle at a front side of the module in order to overcome thrust-in and draw-out forces generated by multiple plugs attached to the module by bracing against a housing profile, a spring-actuated lock (112) at the front side which locks the lever in a rear final position of the plug module and which has an engagement surface (120) shaped as a circular segment having its center on the axle (16) when it is held back by a guide surface (21) of the lever (6) when the lever (6) is rotatably moved over a pivoting angle α and moving away from the axle (16) to thereby block the lever (6) with an abutment (27), when the lever (6) is in its rear final position (10). 2. A module carrier in accordance with claim 1 wherein the lock is provided with a stationarily braced restoring spring which counters movement of the lock in a press-down direction. 3. A module carrier in accordance with claim 1 including centering pins which project in a push-in direction at the front side of the plug module and align the plug module at the front side in suitable bores at a front side of the housing profile. 4. A module carrier in accordance with claim 1 wherein the lever and the lock each comprise an injection molded part. 5. A module carrier in accordance with claim 1 wherein a space requirement for the lever and the lock lies within dimensions of the IEEE STANDARD 1101.10 allowed for the insertion and removal grip. 6. A module carrier in accordance with claim 1 wherein the lever arm is aligned parallel to the front side of the plug module in the rear final position of the plug module in order to minimize a stand off from the front side in normal operation. 7. A module carrier in accordance with claim 1 wherein the lever has a window or is transparent for viewing an optional status display. 8. A module carrier in accordance with claim 1 wherein the lock, after an effective locking position has been reached, actuates a switching element for an active switching of the plug module; and wherein movement of the lock in a pressing-down direction causes a passive switching of the switching element before the lever is released by the lock. 9. A module carrier in accordance with claim 8 wherein the lock has a cam for the actuation of the switching element which is displaceable transversely to the switching direction of the switching element. 10. A module carrier in accordance with claim 8 wherein the electrical switching element is an electrical micro-switch. 11. A module carrier in accordance with claim 8 wherein the plug module has a further locking mechanism without a switching element for securing the plug module. 12. A module carrier in accordance with claim 8 including a status display for the passive switching of the plug module, and wherein the lever has a window or is transparent for viewing the status display.
