ABSTRACT:
In an electronic device, of the type having an electronic component carried on a substrate, a housing to enclose the component, and terminal leads attached to the substrate, the housing is attached to the substrate by means of crimped tabs formed on extensions of the terminal leads. The extensions are directly generally perpendicularly to the substrate, and they terminate in inwardly-bent tabs which engage the housing in slots provided in the top surface of the housing. The tabs are crimped downwardly into the slots to lock the housing onto the substrate. An O-ring may optionally be retained in the housing, whereby the crimping of the tabs compresses the O-ring against the substrate to provide a substantially hermetic seal.
