A housing for holding electrical and/or electronic components with a housing opening and with an entry fitting which is rotationally located in the housing opening, the entry fitting having a cylindrical holding part in which an annular groove is formed, and being held by a fastener in the housing. In the housing, the entry fitting can be securely attached to the housing with simple means and installation of the entry fitting, with the housing otherwise closed, is possible in that, for axially securing the entry fitting in the housing opening, there is an open plastic snap ring which is provided with a feed bevel which is guided in the annular groove, and which, in the installed state of the entry fitting, is locked at least partially in a groove in the housing opening.

Housing for holding electrical and/or electronic components

A electrical unit consisting of a proximity switch and a cable terminal part is described, where the proximity switch has an outside housing and an insulation part, positioned on one end face of the outside housing and having a terminal element with terminals which lead to the outside. The terminals of the terminal element include terminal sockets. The cable terminal part includes a cable and a connecting part, and the cable is mounted in the connecting part and the ends of the leads of the cable are electrically connected to the terminal sockets of the terminal element. The electrical unitcable terminal part also has a cap which surrounds at least the connecting part and is attached to the proximity switch.
