ABSTRACT:
A unitary housing defining a cavity for protectively containing a fragile component such as a glass encapsulated magnetic reed switch includes a mounting plate and a protective body interconnected by a thin flexible member which extends between one end of the body of the housing and one end of the mounting plate. The mounting plate includes apertures for receiving fasteners. A resiliently flexible loop is attached to the end of the mounting plate opposite the flexible connecting member, and a protuberance is provided on the end of the body of the housing opposite the flexible interconnecting member. When the body of the housing is positioned parallel to the mounting plate, the flexible interconnecting member and the resiliently flexible loop latch together, holding the body of the housing closely adjacent to the mounting plate. The flexibly attached mounting plate may be easily removed from the body of the housing, permitting the housing to be attached to a surface by the use of an adhesive.
