Abstract

A housing for an electronic device in automotive technology has two molded-plastic housing parts fittable together to form a cavity and a membrane hinge unitarily formed with the parts and permitting relative pivoting of the parts between an open position and a closed position. The electronic device is secured in the cavity between the parts. Respective snap formations on the parts are fittable together only in the closed position in a condition of one of the parts bearing with prestress on the other part for securing the parts together against separation. One of the snap formations is elastically deformable transversely of an opening direction into and out of latching engagement with the other of the formations.
