Abstract
A seal housing for an electrical device comprises a base, a cover adapted to cover an inwardly facing side of the base to form a closed chamber for accommodating components of the electrical device, and a sealing plate adapted to partially cover an outwardly facing side of the base. The sealing plate has an outward side with a profile that is shaped to divert fluid or fluid condensate formed at the outward side of the sealing plate.
Claims19
A seal housing for an electrical device, comprising:
- a base;
- a cover adapted to cover an inwardly facing side of the base to form a closed chamber for accommodating components of the electrical device;
- and
- a sealing plate adapted to partially cover an outwardly facing side of the base, the sealing plate has an outward side with a profile that is shaped to divert fluid or fluid condensate formed at the outward side of the sealing plate.
An electromagnetic relay, comprising:
- an electrical terminal coupled to a relay assembly;
- and
- a seal housing including a base, a cover adapted to cover an inwardly facing side of the base to form a closed chamber for accommodating components of the relay assembly, and a sealing plate adapted to partially cover an outwardly facing side of the base, the sealing plate has an outward side with a profile that is shaped to divert fluid or fluid condensate formed at the outward side of the sealing plate, the base has an aperture through which the electrical terminal protrudes to an outside of the seal housing.
A sealing plate for protecting a base of an electrical device housing from fluid condensate, comprising:
- a plurality of apertures extending through the sealing plate and through which a plurality of electrical terminals of an electrical component extend;
- and
- an outward side having an inclined face that is inclined with respect to a side of the base on which the sealing plate is mounted so that fluid condensate descends along the inclined face.
