Abstract

L'invention concerne un ensemble contacteur modulaire (180) à utiliser dans une application orientée sécurité. Cet ensemble contacteur modulaire (180) présente deux modules contacteurs (10, 11) pouvant être disposés l'un derrière l'autre au moyen d'un module de couplage (70), les modules contacteurs (10, 11) et le module de couplage (70) devant être uniquement assemblés sans câblage externe par un utilisateur, en vue de leur couplage mécanique et électrique. Cet ensemble contacteur (180) présente, à l'état monté, une largeur totale réduite sensiblement limitée par les côtés étroits (24, 25) des modules contacteurs (10, 11). La largeur totale est notamment de 22,5 mm.
