<p>A method and apparatus for housing intrinsically-safe meter electronics whereby a housing is formed by one or more members (200-210) affixed and sealed with a cam-lock mechanism (300). Separate housing component members are attached using an interlocking assembly whereby a first member couples to a second member using a matched set of surfaces that slide along one another to form a sealed mechanical connection. The matched surfaces are configured such that a twisting action draws the members together into a robust mechanical connection. A seal (306) is placed between members at the matched surfaces of the members (200-210), forming a sealed housing for intrinsically-safe electronics when members are mated.</p> |
