Abstract
Abstract A housing for an electronic circuit, in particular for an electronic control circuit of a motor vehicle internal combustion engine has a circuit accommodation area, a connection area, a distribution area, and a connection device for a separable electrical connection of information and supply leads. The housing has two housing parts which are separable from one another and include a first housing part having accommodating area and a second housing part having the connection area for the connection device and having the distribution area. A dividing part separates the connection area and the distribution area. Contact connections for the connection device are provided on the dividing part. The first housing part has a base wall which in a closed condition of the housing closes the second housing part.
