Abstract
A housing for an electrical component includes an electrically conductive cup which includes a wall, a floor, and a cover having electrical terminals. The housing also includes an electrically insulating coating applied to an outside of the floor and adjoining regions of the wall, and an electrically insulating covering which covers the wall at least partially and which overlaps the electrically insulating coating. The electrically insulating covering is on the electrically insulating coating and does not coat the floor. A mounting plate is also included on which the floor is positioned.

A housing for an electrical component, the housing comprising:
- an electrically conductive cup which includes a wall, a floor, and a cover having electrical terminals;
- an electrically insulating coating applied to an outside of the floor and adjoining regions of the wall;
- an electrically insulating covering which covers the wall at least partially and which overlaps the electrically insulating coating, the electrically insulating covering being on the electrically insulating coating and not coating the floor;
- and
- a mounting plate on which the floor is positioned.
A method of manufacturing a housing for an electrical component which includes an electrically conductive cup comprised of a wall, a floor, and a cover having electrical terminals, the method comprising:
- coating the floor and adjoining regions of the wall with an electrically insulating coating;
- and
- applying an electrically insulating covering to the wall of the cup so that the electrically insulating covering partially overlaps the electrically insulating coating and attaches to the wall.
