Abstract
The housing has a severable projection (3) at a housing wall in which projection a channel (33, 34) extends proceeding from the interior. The channel has at least two sections (33, 34) having different cross sections that become smaller from inside toward the outside in steps. As a result thereof, an aeration opening of differing sizes can be created for different applications of the component by parting the peg at different locations.
Claims12
A housing for an electromechanical component, comprising:
- a housing wall that tightly terminates a gas-filled interior, said housing wall including a severable projection extending outwardly of said housing wall into which a channel extends proceeding from the interior of said housing wall, said channel in the projection has at least two sections having different cross sections that become smaller from inside toward outside of said housing wall in steps;
- and a cross-wall in an outer section of said two sections of the channel, said outer section being of a smaller cross section than an inner section of said two sections.
A housing for an electromechanical component, comprising:
- a housing wall that tightly terminates a gas-filled interior, said housing wall including a severable projection extending outwardly of aid housing wall into which a channel extends proceeding from the interior of said housing wall, said channel in the projection has at least two sections having different cross sections that become smaller from inside toward outside of said housing wall in steps;
- and an outside contour of said severable projection being shaped to indicate changes in the cross section of the channel.
A housing for an electromechanical component, comprising:
- a housing wall that tightly terminates a gas-filled interior, said housing wall including a severable projection extending outwardly of said housing wall into which a channel extends proceeding rom the interior of said housing wall, said channel in the projection has at least two sections having different cross sections that become smaller from inside toward outside of said housing wall in steps, and said housing wall having a housing part that includes a sep-like set back and said projection being a peg on said housing part.
A housing for an electromechanical component, comprising:
- a housing wall that tightly terminates a gas-filled interior, said housing wall including a severable projection extending outwardly of said housing wall into which a channel extends proceeding from the interior of said housing wall, said channel in the projection has at least two sections having different cross sections that become smaller from inside toward outside of said housing wall in steps, said projection being a graduated rib at a housing corner of said housing wall.
A housing for an electrical component having electrical contacts mountable within the housing, comprising:
- a housing wall defining an interior space for receiving the electrical component;
- a projection extending from said housing wall, said projection including a passageway extending at least partially through said projection from the interior space defined by said housing wall, said passageway having a first portion of a lesser cross section and a second portion of a greater cross section, said second portion of said passageway being closer to said interior space than said first portion, said projection having an shaped external surface indicative of where said first portion of said passageway meets said second portion of said passageway so that said projection may selectively be cut at said first portion or at said second portion.
A housing as claimed in claim 15, wherein said housing wall includes a step-shaped set back at one corner of said housing wall, and
- wherein said projection is in said step-shaped set back so as not to project beyond a general housing contour of said housing wall.
