Abstract
The disclosure relates to a housing for electrical components and to a method for connecting a housing body to a housing cover. The housing includes the housing body. The base plate supports components arranged thereon. The housing also includes the housing cover which is fastened to the base plate by way of crimp tabs. The crimp tabs are bent over in such a way that the housing cover is interlockingly connected to the housing body. The disclosure also relates a method for connecting the housing to the housing cover. An edge region of the base plate projects beyond the contact surface of the housing body, where crimp tabs that have been bent over lie against the contact surface. Some of the crimp tabs may be designed as extended crimp tabs that partially extend around horizontal body surfaces of the housing body, which lies on the base plate.
