Abstract

The electrical device essentially consists of three main components, the circuit board (10), the housing bottom (11) and the housing cover (12). These three main components are joined to one another in the area of their outer edge. For this purpose, the housing bottom (11) and the housing cover (12) have mounting and, respectively, support sections (18, 25) which essentially extend parallel to the circuit board surface. In order to keep the unusable zones for mounting and joining circuit board and the housing parts small, the longitudinal extent of the joints is very much smaller than the total length of the corresponding circuit board edges (FIG. 3).
