Abstract

A housing is provided with a base part to receive a plurality of equipment units, such as primed circuit boards. To facilitate access to terminal regions of the circuit boards, a two-part cover is securable to the base part, wherein a first cover part has an access opening to the terminal regions, and a ventilated second cover part covers the terminal region in a snap-fit manner. The terminal regions are thus easily accessible for measuring or testing. Preferably, the second cover part is manually releasable, without use of a tool.
