Abstract

A housing for an electronics package that has a flexible mounting flange that conformably engages the housing to a variety of planar or contoured surfaces is described. The housing, also comprised of an enclosure attached to the flexible mounting flange, provides for the protection and orderly confinement of electronics packages, such as signal conditioning circuitry, disposed within the housing. The housing is inserted into an aperture in a surface, such as the side of acoustic stringed instrument, until the flexible mounting flange engages the planar or contoured surface. The housing is then removably attached to the surface of the aperture.
