A housing for receiving a circuit board with an overvoltage protection unit and overvoltage protection module. The housing includes a support frame and a film. The support frame is formed of a thermoplastic material and has a main leg, two side legs adjoining the main leg at one end in each case, and at least one lateral flat brace. The film is formed of a thermoplastic material and is formed U-shaped. An end face of the film at least partially covers an end face of the main leg, each side surface of the film at least partially covering the two side legs and the brace. The film is materially connected to the side legs such that the housing made up of the support frame and film is at least partially open on a side opposite the end face of the film.

Housing for receiving a circuit board with an overvoltage protection unit, and an overvoltage protection module

The invention relates to a receiving socket for receiving and making contact with an electronic module () comprising an electronic circuit () which is electrically connected to a first contact tongue () and to a second contact tongue (). The receiving socket comprises a first electrical contact area () for making contact with the first contact tongue () of the module, a second electrical contact area () for making contact with the second contact tongue () of the module and a contact element () which electrically connects the first contact area () to the second contact area () for the purpose of transferring an electrical signal when the module is removed. The first contact tongue () of the module can be received between the first electrical contact area () and the contact element (). The second contact tongue () of the module can be received between the second electrical contact area () and the contact element ().
