Patent attributes
A housing for receiving electrotechnical components includes a first and a second housing shell having, respectively, a first housing web that forms a sealing face and a second housing web that forms a further sealing face. The first and second housing webs are part of an inner wall of a double-walled casing portion of the housing. Two resilient sealing elements for sealing a transition portion are formed between the housing shells. In the assembled state, the first and second housing webs are aligned one above the other and substantially flush and the longitudinal edges thereof facing each other are arranged at a distance apart. A carrier element forms a bridging element between the housing webs and presses the sealing elements in the transverse direction or in the assembly direction against the sealing faces.
