Abstract
A housing has a base that includes a baseplate and a rail. The rail projects outwardly to an impact rim along a bottom edge of the rail. The rail includes a flexible web that couples the impact rim to the baseplate. A projecting contact surface on the impact rim is laterally offset from at least one bending axis through the flexible web. An impact to the contact surface is offset from the bending axis by a moment arm.
