Housing for a circuit board and electric circuit arrangement

A housing configured to receive and hold an electric circuit board in place, the housing comprising:

• a housing body having an electrically conductive housing base element and a housing wall element protruding from the electrically conductive housing base element, the housing body including an electrical contacting point;
• an electrically insulating cladding layer that coats a portion of the housing body that does not include the electrical contacting point;
• a circuit board compartment that is delimited by the electrically conductive housing base element and the housing wall element, and the circuit board compartment is coated with the electrically insulating cladding layer;
• and
• a fastening device including:
• an electrically conductive contacting unit which is directly electrically contacted with the housing body at the electrical contacting point and extends into the circuit board compartment in an installation position, and is configured to be electrically conductively contacted in the circuit board compartment with a corresponding contacting unit of the electric circuit board;
• and
• a mechanical attaching unit configured to be mechanically connected in the circuit board compartment to a corresponding attaching unit of the electric circuit board in order to mechanically affix the electric circuit board in the circuit board compartment.
