1. A switching device comprising: a housing; anda contact carrier coupled to the housing so as to be pivotable about a rotational axis; andat least one coupling contact for producing or opening a power and/or signal-carrying contact connection with at least one switching device connected in series,wherein the contact carrier is a cover part of a housing narrow side of the housing and is formed for partial engagement over the attached switching device,wherein the cover part supports the coupling contact, andwherein the coupling contact contacts a device-internal counter contact, which comprises a first contact leg for contacting this coupling contact and a second contact leg for contacting a coupling contact of the attached switching device. 2. The switching device according to claim 1, wherein the contact carrier has an engaging part, which engages in a corresponding joining recess of the device housing in a course of the pivoting of the contact carrier. 3. The switching device according to claim 2, wherein the engaging part is integrally formed on the cover part of the contact carrier. 4. The switching device according to claim 1, wherein the coupling contact is a spring contact, which contacts the device-internal counter contact in a course of pivoting. 5. The switching device according to claim 4, wherein the coupling contact is a two-armed spring contact. 6. The switching device according to claim 1, wherein the device-internal counter contact, which the coupling contact contacts, has a spring contact limb for contacting a device-internal printed circuit board contact or electronics contact. 7. The switching device according to claim 1, wherein the contact carrier has at least one bearing pin, which sits in a bearing bush of a housing side wall. 8. A switching device arrangement comprising: a plurality of switching devices according to claim 1, which are connected in series in particular on a DIN rail or top-hat rail of which a respective device-internal counter contact is accessible via a housing side for power and/or signal guidance,wherein the coupling contact is provided and arranged as a pivot mechanism for the device-selective opening and closing of the contact connection between the connected switching devices and/or a feed module.
