ABSTRACT:
A gasket is provided that includes a first sealing portion defining an angled profile and a second sealing portion. A plurality of beads are disposed along the angled profile of the first sealing portion, and a plurality of ribs are disposed along the second sealing portion, thus providing a dual action sealing gasket. The gasket is preferably employed in an electrical housing assembly for a power controller system, wherein the housing assembly comprises a case having an open end, a cover for closing the open end of the case, and a mounting collar disposed around the case for mounting the case to a panel. The gasket is secured to the case proximate the open end such that when the cover is mounted to the open end of the case, the plurality of beads are elastically deformed by the cover and the plurality of ribs are compressed against the panel.
