ABSTRACT:
The electronics enclosure comprises, surrounded by a metal shroud, an open end closed off by a plug of insulating material fitted in the metal shroud, in which contact members are provided for connecting the electronics assembly accommodated in the electronics enclosure to outer connecting leads. One of the contact members is a grounding contact member including a ring on which radially protruding spring claws of elastic material are provided. The plug is provided with a peripheral groove, and the ring of the grounding contact member is applied level with the peripheral groove in the plug such that the spring claws protrude into the peripheral groove. The length of the spring claws is dimensioned so that on insertion of the plug in the metal shroud they are flexed in the metal shroud and come into spring contact with the inside surface of the metal shroud. As a result of this the plug is fixed in the metal shroud and, at the same time, a good electrical contact is produced between the grounding contact member and the metal shroud.
