A housing for receiving electrotechnical components, which housing comprises:
- a first housing shell and a second housing shell for forming a receiving space for electrotechnical components, and
- a carrier element,
- wherein the first housing shell comprises a first housing web forming a first sealing face and forming a second sealing face disposed opposite from the first sealing face and wherein the first housing shell also comprises a first outer wall web,
- wherein the second housing shell comprises a second housing web forming a third sealing face and forming a fourth sealing face disposed opposite from the third sealing face and wherein the second housing shell also comprises a second outer wall web,
- wherein the first housing web and the second housing web are part of an inner wall of a double-walled casing portion of the housing,
- wherein the first outer wall web and the second outer wall web are part of an outer wall of the double-walled casing portion of the housing,
- wherein the inner wall is formed at a distance spaced from the outer wall of the double-walled casing portion,
- wherein a first elastic sealing element is band-like or ring-like and is designed for sealing a transitional portion between the first housing shell and the second housing shell and is made from an elastomer material,
- wherein a second elastic sealing element is band-like or ring-like, is designed for sealing the transitional portion, and is made from an elastomer material,
- wherein the first housing web has a first housing web longitudinal edge,
- wherein the second housing web has a second housing web longitudinal edge,
- wherein in an assembled state of the first housing shell and the second housing shell the first housing web longitudinal edge faces the second housing web longitudinal edge,
- wherein, in the assembled state of the first housing shell and the second housing shell, the first housing web and the second housing web are aligned above one another and flush and the first housing web longitudinal edge and the second housing web longitudinal edge are arranged at a distance from one another,
- wherein the carrier element comprises a comparatively dimensionally stable hard plastic,
- wherein the carrier element forms a bridging element between the first housing web and the second housing web,
- wherein the carrier element pushes the first elastic sealing element and the second elastic sealing element:
- (i) in a transverse direction relative to a joining direction of the first and second housing shells, or
- (ii) in a joining direction of the first and second housing shells against the first sealing face on the first housing web and against the third sealing face on the second housing web;
- wherein the first elastic sealing element is designed as a first cup seal, the first cup seal being substantially U-shaped in cross section,
- wherein the first cup seal bears against the first sealing face and against the second sealing face of the first housing web,
- wherein the second elastic sealing element is designed as a second cup seal, the second cup seal being substantially U-shaped in cross section,
- wherein the second cup seal bears against the third sealing face and against the fourth sealing face of the second housing web,
- wherein the carrier element is substantially H-shaped in cross section such that the carrier element has a carrier element first side and a carrier element second side disposed opposite from the carrier element first side, the carrier element first side and the carrier element second side forming a first groove-like depression and a second groove-like depression,
- wherein the carrier element is a separate component and the first elastic sealing element is arranged in the first groove-like depression and held in position by the first groove-like depression and the second elastic sealing element is arranged in the second groove-like depression and held in position by the second groove-like depression,
- wherein the carrier element first side is designed for pressing the first elastic sealing element against the first sealing face of the first housing web and is designed for pressing the second elastic sealing element against the third sealing face of the second housing web,
- wherein the carrier element second side is designed for pressing the first elastic sealing element against the second sealing face of the first housing web and is designed for pressing the second elastic sealing element against the fourth sealing face of the second housing web, and wherein the carrier element is spaced from and does not contact the outer wall.
