Abstract

An enclosure for electronic components with a base and a capping forming a room for receiving at least one circuit board at least one circuit board support positioned on the base for the support of the at least one circuit board. At least one fastening element attaches the at least one circuit board to the circuit board support through an engagement with the circuit board support, wherein the capping is formed and/or attached to the base in such a manner that room is formed between the fastening element and the capping in such a manner that a detachment of the fastening element from the circuit board support is prevented.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An enclosure for electronic components, the enclosure comprising:
a base;
a capping engaging the base, the base and the capping forming a room for receiving at least one circuit board;
at least one circuit board support positioned on the base supporting the at least one circuit board; and
at least one fastening element attaching the at least one circuit board to the at least one circuit board support through an engagement with the at least one circuit board support, the at least one fastening element including an internal portion disposed within an opening of the at least one circuit board support and an external end disposed outside of the opening of the at least one circuit board support, wherein a space is present between the external end of the at least one fastening element and the capping, wherein a distance between the external end of the at least one fastening element and the capping as measured across the space in an axial direction of the at least one fastening element is smaller than a length of the internal portion of the at least one fastening element disposed within the opening of the at least one circuit board support in a manner wherein a detachment of the at least one fastening element from the at least one circuit board support is prevented.

2. The enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the capping is free of electronic components.

3. The enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one fastening element is a screw.

4. The enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one circuit board support is a ridge or a pin protruding from the base.

5. The enclosure according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one protrusion on the capping arranged above the at least one fastening element in such a manner that the detachment of the at least one fastening element of the at least one circuit board support is prevented, wherein the space is present between the external end of the at least one fastening element and the at least one protrusion on the capping.

6. The enclosure according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one protrusion is hollow.

7. The enclosure according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one protrusion is cylindrical.
