A multi-component housing (100) having a length and comprising at least a first component (41) comprising a first plastic material (41a), a second component (42) comprising a second plastic material (42a), and a third component comprising a third plastic material (43a). The housing includes at least one tolerance-elimination element (50) made of the second plastic material and longitudinally attached to the first component along the housing's longitudinal axis. The tolerance-elimination element (50) has an average length (H) extending parallel to the housing's longitudinal axis, which averagelength is at least ten times less than the length of the housing. The third component at least partially forms an outer surface of the housing, so that the tolerance-elimination element is at least partially overmolded by the third plastic material.
