[0053] The first housing 1 can be made of an electrically insulating material such as plastic. The first housing 1 has a containing space S. The containing space S can be formed by the wall 11 forming the first housing 1. The shape of the inner surface of the wall 11 is not limited by the present invention. In this embodiment, the shape of the inner surface of the wall 11 is described as a quadrilateral. The wall 11 has at least one first notch 12, so that the liquid can be discharged from the outer surface of the wall 11 through the at least one first notch 12.

[0054] The circuit board 2 can be accommodated in the accommodating space S. Preferably, a stop portion 13 is provided on the inner surface of the wall 11 of the first shell 1, and the bottom surface of the circuit board 2 can abut against the stop portion 13 so that the circuit board 2 can stay at a predetermined height. Preferably, when the bottom surface of the circuit board 2 abuts against the stop portion 13, the top surface of the circuit board 2 is lower than the bottom of the at least one first notch 12.

[0055] The circuit board 2 has a plurality of electronic components 21, a plurality of pins 22, two voltage-controlled switches 23 and a terminal 24.
