The housing includes a base and a cover. The base has a wiring guide member and a terminal area in which the internal wiring is connected to an outside electric conductor. The cover has a trough section into which the terminal area at least partly extends. The trough section has a trough wall which abuts the base to form a sealing surface. The wiring guide member supports the internal wiring at a position spaced apart from the sealing surface and opposite the trough wall and the internal wiring extends over the trough wall and into the trough section to the terminal area. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An electric device, comprising: an internal wiring; and a housing including a base having a wiring guide member and a terminal area in which the internal wiring is connected to an outside electric conductor; and a cover having a trough section into which the terminal area at least partly extends, the trough section having a trough wall which abuts the base to form a sealing surface, the wiring guide member supporting the internal wiring at a position spaced apart from the sealing surface and opposite the trough wall and the internal wiring extending over the trough wall and into the trough section to the terminal area. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The electric device of claim 1, wherein the internal wiring is positioned on the base on a same side of the sealing surface as the cover. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The electric device of claim 1, wherein the wiring guide member is a protrusion extending away from the base toward the cover. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The electric device of claim 3, wherein the wiring guide member projects from a side wall of the base. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The electric device of claim 1, wherein the terminal section protrudes from a main section of the base. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The electric device of claim 5, wherein the internal wiring is disposed between a supporting surface of the wiring guide member and the main section. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The electric device of claim 1, wherein the wiring guide member has a tilted surface oriented at an obtuse angle with respect to the sealing surface. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The electric device of claim 1, wherein the base has a pair of wiring guide members with a gap disposed between the wiring guide members. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The electric device of claim 8, wherein the trough wall is disposed in the gap between the wiring guide members. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The electric device of claim 9, wherein one of the pair of wiring guide members extends into the trough section. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The electric device of claim 1, wherein the base has an auxiliary wiring guide member guiding the internal wiring from the base to the wiring guide member. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The electric device of claim 1, wherein the cover has a pair of trough walls, the trough wall disposed at opposite sides of the terminal area. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The electric device of claim 12, wherein the base has a pair of wiring guide members, each of the wiring guide members supporting the internal wiring at a position spaced apart from the sealing surface and opposite one of the trough walls. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The electric device of claim 13, wherein the base has two pairs of wiring guide members disposed at opposite sides of the terminal area. ### Claim 15 (depends on 6) The electric device of claim 6, wherein the internal wiring extends from the housing on a cover side of the sealing surface, extends parallel to the trough wall, abuts the supporting surface of the wiring guide member, and extends over the trough wall and through the sealing surface into the terminal area. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The electric device of claim 1, wherein the trough section is filled with a filling medium at least partially embedding the terminal area.
