Abstract
A housing for electrical devices is composed of four sheet metal parts, namely a base part, two side parts and a lid. The base part is bent in a U-shape and has a rectangular bottom plate with two opposing connecting edges. Each of the side parts has a lower connecting edge and can be placed laterally against the base part. The lid has a connecting edge and an opposing edge that is folded over. Connecting links and mounting tabs offset inwardly in a Z-shape are arranged on the connecting edges. The mounting tabs engage partially in cutouts of the connecting links, thus forming a hinge-like positive connection of two adjacent housing parts.
