Housing and methods of producing a housing

Abstract

The present invention relates to a housing, in particular a housing for electronic components, which includes a housing part (2) which is made of plastic and has at least one opening (4), and a lid part (1) for closing off the opening (4). It is proposed that the lid part (1) is produced as a metal punched part, the punched edge (14) of the lid part having a punch ridge (12) on a first side (10) of the lid part and a punch indentation (13) on a second side (11) opposite the first side, and the lid part being pressed into the opening (4) of the housing part (2) via the second side (11) so that the lid part (1) comes to rest against assigned sections (7a) of the inner wall (7) of the opening (4) via at least two edge sections (14a) that are distributed around the perimeter of the lid part and bites into the assigned sections (7a) of the inner wall (7) in a barb-like manner via the punch ridge (12).
