Abstract
An accommodation for electronic components contained in a circuit board. The accommodation comprises a housing which is rectangular as seen in plan and has a bottom wall and four side walls. The circuit board containing the electronic components is molded into the bottom wall and connectors project therefrom into the interior of the housing. An upright rim is defined around the top of the housing onto which is secured by screws a cover which, with the bottom wall and side walls, seal the interior of the accommodation against the entry of dirt and water. The bottom wall and the side walls are preferably composed of a synthetic material and elastic material is included in one of the longer side walls. An aperture through the elastic material is provided for sealingly receiving a cable for connection to the connectors extending from the circuit board and its electronic components. The sealing engagement of the cable with the elastic material is such as to prevent the entry of dirt or water into the interior of the accommodation. The cover of the accommodation is preferably composed of a metal and is operatively associated with equipment for cooling the interior of the accommodation including the circuit board and electronic components therein.
