Abstract
A sealed electronic antenna box includes: a rigid chassis having a first opening at one of the edges of the chassis; a rigid cover having a second opening at one of the edges of the cover; an electronic board having an antenna region close to one edge of the electronic board. The board mounted in the box such that an upper face of the antenna region faces the first opening in the chassis and a lower face of the antenna region faces the second opening in the cover. A cap engages an edge of the electronic board to cover the antenna region and the first and second openings. A seal overmolded on an external surface of the cap, extends along the free edges of the cap. When the cover and chassis are mounted on the electronic board, the seal is compressed against a surface of the chassis and the cover.

A sealed electronic antenna box comprising:
- a rigid chassis having a first opening positioned at one of the edges of the chassis;
- a rigid cover having a second opening positioned at one of the edges of the cover;
- an electronic board having an antenna region arranged close to one edge of the electronic board, the board being mounted in the box such that an upper face of the antenna region is oriented so as to face the first opening in the chassis and a lower face of the antenna region is oriented so as to face the second opening in the cover;
- a cap configured to engage with an edge of the electronic board so as to cover the antenna region and the first and second openings;
- a seal overmolded on an external surface of the cap, extending along the free edges of the cap such that when the cover and the chassis are mounted on the electronic board, the seal is compressed against a surface of the chassis and of the cover in order to close the two openings in a sealed manner.
