Abstract
An electric device includes an electric component and a housing having a lower housing part and an upper housing part. The electric component is supported on the lower housing part. The lower housing part and the upper housing part surround a housing volume in which the electric component is sealingly encased. A weld is formed between the upper housing part and the lower housing part. One of the lower housing part and the upper housing part has a protrusion welded to the other one of the lower housing part and the upper housing part. A gap is disposed between the lower housing part and the upper housing part, the gap extending radially from the protrusion to an outside of the housing. A solidified molten material from the weld is at least partially received in the gap.
