  • Patent number: 9326411
    Abstract: A connection device is provided connecting an electronic component that is arranged on a carrier to a housing part. The connection device has a first bush for receiving a first fastening unit which is used to fasten the connection device to the carrier and a second bush for receiving a second fastening unit for fastening the connection device to the housing part. The first bush is thermally insulated from the second bush. A controller has an electronic component which is arranged on the carrier and which is connected or can be connected to the housing part by use of such a connection device.

  • Patent number: 8526196
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for receiving, at least partially, an electric/electronic component in an internal housing area, in particular for commercial vehicles. A first housing component at least partially forms the internal housing area and a cover at least partially surrounds the internal housing area. The cover is designed such that at least one electrically conductive connecting element for electrically coupling the electric/electronic component to at least one additional electric/electronic component provided outside of the internal housing area is fixed by the cover. A method for assembling the apparatus is also provided.

  • Patent number: 8161821
    Abstract: A conductor track carrier, particularly a leadframe that is preferably insert-molded with plastic or a rigid/flexible circuit carrier, includes one or more conductor tracks, which are received and held at least partially by a conductor track carrier component designed in one piece. The conductor track carrier component is designed such that it receives and holds furthermore at least one component of one or more sensors. A method of producing such a conductor track carrier is also provided.

  • Patent number: 7016200
    Abstract: In a module frame for electronic components, having a conductor structure having a metallic conductor, at least one contact segment of a metallic conductor, the at least one contact segment of the metallic conductor uncovered by the insulation sheathing and conductively connected to a segment of the metallic conductor, the thermal conduction cross section of the at least one connecting web being designed to be so small that when the contact segment is intensely heated, the connecting web has a throttling effect on the heat flow to the segment of the conductor.
