An electronics housing for housing electronic components includes: a lower housing part and an upper housing part connected to one another by connecting means in order to form a housing body, the connecting means having at least one screw which has a threaded section for thread formation. When the housing body is in a connected state, the threaded section of the screw is screwed through a connecting region of the upper housing part to form thread, and screwed into a connecting region of the lower housing part to form thread at least in sections, or vice versa. The connecting regions for the connection by the screw each have a screw section, between which a thread clearance is formed in a state of use.
