Abstract

A pot-shaped housing with a cover for capacitors has the pot-shaped housing and cover both being extruded as single workpieces and having different spatial dimensions along two principal axes so that they form either a rectangular or square. The cover is provided with two electrical terminals, preferably with one of the terminals being conducted through an opening in the cover and the other terminal preferably being integrally formed with the cover. The cover has a bent-up edge on its periphery in an interlocking fashion with the opening in the housing pot.
