Abstract

An electrical component is installed in a metallic housing having a planar housing floor, in which the housing is pressed against a heat dissipation plate by means of screwable tension elements that are situated adjacent the housing wall. The tension elements have peaks at a portion that faces the housing wall. The housing has an indentation in the clamping region of the tension elements which serves as an aid to assembly, and the center line of the indentation is arranged higher prior to the fixing of the housing by means of the peak of the tension elements than subsequent thereto.
