A housing with an open receiving chamber which has a circumferential edge in the form of a creepage barrier at an open upper face is disclosed. The receiving chamber is filled with a casting compound, and the hardened casting compound forms a concave surface relative to the circumferential edge at the open upper face. A sensor is also disclosed that includes such a housing. In addition, a method for casting an open receiving chamber of such a housing is disclosed. The open receiving chamber has an opening at one end leading to an enclosed interior adjoining the open receiving chamber. The enclosed interior is filled with the casting compound, and the open upper face of the receiving chamber has a varying height where the upper face transitions into the enclosed interior. The circumferential edge has an outwardly descending inclination and a continuous curvature formed by tangential transitions in order to overcome the height difference, and the circumferential edge allows the receiving chamber to be temporarily overfilled, thereby forming a stable convex casting compound surface, during the casting process.

A container for communication devices and communication systems used in cellular networks. There is a need for resilient systems that can withstand extreme weather events. Cellular network infrastructure located close to coastal regions is particularly prone to disruptive failures. A container for an electronic communications device is also provided including: a housing that surrounds at least one mounting plate on which electrical devices and electronic devices are supported. The housing is received around atop edge by a recess in a top plate and around a bottom edge by a recess in a bottom plate. The top and bottom plates are clamped to seal the housing. In some embodiments the housing is connected to a sea borne infrastructure such as buoy. Node frames enable a communications infrastructure that has no single point of failure.

Provided is an electronic device including a first housing, a second housing, a flexible housing including a hinge structure, a first printed circuit board disposed in the first housing, a second printed circuit board disposed in the first housing, laminated on one surface of the first printed circuit board facing a second direction and including a connector on one surface facing the second direction, a flexible printed circuit board connected with the connector, extending from the second housing through the hinge structure to the first housing, a rib supporting the first printed circuit board, disposed between the first printed circuit board and a first surface, including a through hole through which part of the flexible printed circuit board passes, extending in the second direction from one end, and at least one sealing member sealing a space between the through hole and part of the flexible printed circuit board.

Access points can be mounted in a variety of locations or orientations and can support multiple communications protocols. In some embodiments, an access point includes a main housing and a front housing. The main and front housing are connected by a hinge. A Wi-Fi antenna is included in the front housing in some embodiments. The access point is configured for use in either an open or closed position. When mounted in a vertical position, the front housing can be lowered into a horizontal position, which facilitates a preferred orientation of an antenna with respect to the ground. A first set of cooling fins serves to maintain components of the access point offset from a wall to which the access point is mounted. This facilitates airflow. Additional fins act as a spacer between the main housing and the front housing when the access point is used in a closed position. This facilitates air flow around both sides of the main housing.

An explosion-proof housing includes at least one metal housing part having at least one of a housing opening or receiving surface, and a support edge bordering said at least one of a housing opening or receiving surface. A cover part covers said at least one of a housing opening or the receiving surface. The cover part includes a peripheral cover edge which is connected to the support edge in an explosion-proof manner such that in the event of an explosion inside the housing, the explosion is prevented from crossing over to an explosive atmosphere surrounding the housing. A plurality of connection points are formed between the support edge and the cover edge. The connection points include interlocking depressions and protrusions. The protrusions are formed by partial melting of the cover edge. The depressions and the protrusions interlock with play in a longitudinal direction of the housing.

A novel weatherproof electrical component enclosure incorporates swappable internal module configurations for several types of network devices, wherein each internal module embodies standardized dimensions and standardized attachment elements for seamless internal device swap in-and-out compatibilities within the same weatherproof enclosure. Examples of novel swappable internal modules for the novel weatherproof electrical component enclosure include a fanned Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switch, a fan-less PoE switch, a network router, and a wireless base station, all of which are simply swappable in and out of the weatherproof enclosure. The novel weatherproof electrical component enclosure also uniquely incorporates a customer's component hotel space as a weatherproof storage of customer-specific private accessory devices, in addition to housing factory-packaged original equipment which the weatherproof electrical component enclosure is originally designed to encase. The swappable modularity of internal components in the weatherproof enclosure reduces outdoor network equipment design constraints, manufacturing costs, and network implementation and maintenance costs.

The invention relates to a housing (105) having a pressure compensation device (100) for compensating a pressure in an interior (200) of the housing (105) in relation to surroundings (300) of the housing (105), said interior being in connection with the pressure compensation device (100). According to the invention, a main part (125) and a flexible sealing lip (120) of a lip sealing element (115) of an overpressure valve are formed in a single piece from an elastomer material and are held directly in the borehole (205) in a housing wall of the housing (105), a sealing surface (140), with which the flexible sealing lip (120) interacts, being formed by the radially inner circumferential surface of the borehole (205).

An electronic device includes: an exterior case that has a first case and a second case engaged with each other; a first lead wire and a second lead wire extended from the inside of the exterior case; a first grommet through which the first lead wire is penetrated; and a second grommet through which the second lead wire is penetrated, where the first grommet is inserted in a first notch formed in the first case, the second grommet is inserted in a second notch formed at a position that substantially faces the first notch in the second case, and a continuous O-ring is interposed between the first case and the second case and between the first grommet and the second grommet.

An electronic device includes a casing and a waterproof lid structure. The casing has an opening. The waterproof lid structure corresponds in position to the opening and includes a supportive sheet metal, waterproof component, movable latch lid and bolts. The supportive sheet metal has an axle pivotally connected to one side of the opening. The waterproof component hermetically seals the opening and lies on one side of the supportive sheet metal. The movable latch lid covers the other side of the supportive sheet metal and is penetrated by passages. The bolts correspond in position to the passages, respectively, and each include a rod portion and a head portion disposed at one end of the rod portion. The rod portions pass through the passages and supportive sheet metal to get fastened to the waterproof component, allowing the head portions to stop at the outer side of the movable latch lid.
