The housing, which is to accommodate a rotary switch arranged on a printed circuit board, is provided with a threaded projection which can be used to fasten it to a wall through which a setting stem, which is assigned to the rotary switch, reaches. The housing is designed in two parts in such a manner that one half (19, 20) of the threaded projection is integrally formed on each housing component (9, 10). The two housing components (9, 10) are joined together by means of latching connection means (11, 12, 13, 14) and hooks (one of which is denoted by 16) engaging in eyelets.
