Abstract
A housing is used for enclosing a circuit board of the type used in programmable logic controllers. Through the use of an adapter plate, the housing can accommodate a wide variety of circuit boards that have multiple input/output components that must be accessible to the outside of the housing. A hinged side wall provides easy access to the circuit board and the components on it and slots on the top and bottom of the housing provide venting for cooling the components.
