Abstract

An electrically conductive housing having a shell-like lid which closes the housing, and the lid and housing mesh with one another on their periphery. The lid comprises a molded sheet-steel part and is provided on its periphery with tonguelike protrusions. The protrusions on their ends self-lockingly engage a wall portion of the housing. As a result, the housing and lid are electrically conductively connected to one another. The shilding action of the housing with the lid for an electrical device disposed in the housing is improved.
