Abstract
An electrical device is provided, including a housing, a base, a cover, and a plug body connected to a printed-circuit board and projecting from housing. To achieve an excellent seal for the housing in a transitional region among the base, the cover, and an intermediate wall of the plug body, a groove is formed in the cover, in which a sealing compound is placed. During assembly of the components, the sealing compound is displaced from the intermediate wall in a region of an additional sealing compound applied to the base, the two sealing compounds meeting in an overlap region.
