An adapter (2) for mounting electrical or electronic components (3) on a frame (1) of a device housing comprises a body on which at least one component (3) can be mounted, and at least one flexible detent tongue (11) that defines a plug-in direction in which the adapter (2) can be locked in the frame (1) once plugged in. The detent tongue (11) is joined to the body at a root section (18) and supports a detent lug (22) on a free section (21), which extends essentially in the plug-in direction and which, with regard to the plug-in direction, is located in front of the root section (18). The free section is located in a plane (B), which is offset with regard to the root section (18) perpendicular to the plug-in direction. The detent lug (22) is located on a flank of the free section (21), said flank facing the root section (18). The root section (18) and the free section (21) are joined by a flexible section (19) extending, at least partially with regard to the plug-in direction, behind the root section (18). The adapter (2) can be fixed into a number of positions in the opening (6) of the frame (1) with the aid of shaped elements (19, 17) of the adapter (2) and frame (1), whereby said elements engage with one another. |
