At least two of the lines are connected with their other free ends to electrical contacts, which are arranged in at least one coupling body of insulation material in such a way that they are accessible on the plug-in side thereof. The coupling body is accessible from the outside connected with a plug-in side on or in the steering column switching module of the motor vehicle and, in the assembly position, an electrical line leading to the coupling body is connected through an electrical line leading to the onboard network.

Abstract: A housing having at least one electrical component situated therein and at least one electrical feed line, the housing having at least one through-opening, the electrical feed line being guided through the through-opening from an external environment into the interior of the housing, and there being an electrical connection between the electrical component and the electrical feed line.

Abstract: An apparatus for signal and/or current transmission between terminals which can move in relation to one another and which are fitted, on the one hand, on a fixed stator and, on the other hand, on a rotor of a cassette that can rotate about a common axis with the stator. At least one flat ribbon cable, which is equipped with electrical conductors, runs in turns and forms a wound body (W), is arranged within the cassette between the terminals, the ends of the flat ribbon cable being connected to contact parts (19, 20) for the purpose of connecting ongoing cables. In order to accommodate the complete wound body (W) for its protection during transport and/or during storage, a pot-like cover (22) is provided which engages around said wound body and is fitted detachably to an essentially disc-shaped carrier (21).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a circuit arrangement containing a microcontroller (10) and an EEP-ROM (11). A first memory area (39) having at least one data set memory (DA1, DA2, DA3) and at least one second memory area (30) also having at least one data set memory (DB1, DB2, DB3) are provided in the EEPROM (11). A pointer (P1, P2, P3) located in a third memory area (31) refers to the respectively valid memory area (29, 30). In one step (53), the microcontroller (10) stores a data set in the invalid memory area (29, 30) and, in a subsequent step (54), changes the pointer (P1, P2, P3) so that the invalid memory area (29, 30) becomes the valid memory area (30, 29). Both steps (53, 54) are cyclically repeated. In the event of a fault during a storage process, a correct data set is available at all times in the memory area (29, 30) indicated as being valid.

Abstract: The invention relates to method for operating a circuit arrangement containing a microcontroller (10) and an EEPROM (11). After the execution of a predetermined number of storage processes of a data set in a data set memory (DA1, DA2, DA3; DB1, DB2, DB3) of EEPROM (11), the data set is stored in another data set memory (DA1, DA2, DA3; DB1, DB2, DB3). The inventive method makes it possible to eliminate the problem associated with being able to conduct, due to technical constraints, only a limited number of storage processes in a designated storage cell of an EEPROM (11).

Abstract: A device for transmitting current between two terminals of a cassette (K) between which at least one ribbon cable is arranged that extends in turns. The cassette includes a fixed stator and a rotatable rotor between which the ribbon cable is positioned. One of the two terminals is movable relative to the other. The ribbon cable at its ends is located in the area of the terminals. It is brought out of the cassette at the terminals for the connection of continuing cables (17). At least two plate-shaped contact carriers (18, 19) are mounted to the outside of the stator of the cassette. The conductors of the ribbon cable on the one hand and the conductors of a continuing cable on the other hand can be connected to the contact carriers. The contact carriers are connected with one another by elastic snap-in elements to form a unit.

Abstract: A device for signal transmission between two terminals, having at least one cable (10) accommodated in an essentially circular cartridge (K) and positioned between the terminals. At least one of the two terminals is movable relative to the other. The cartridge (K) comprises a rotor (15) rotatable around its axis (A) and a fixed stator (16), which together delimit an acceptance space (17) serving to accept the cable (10). To allow the utilization of cables (10) of varying widths, a compensation body (18) with variable axial height is applied to at least one of the surfaces of the rotor (15) or stator (16) bordering the acceptor space (17).

Abstract: A device for transmitting current between two terminals between which there is arranged at least one ribbon cable that is accommodated in a cassette (K) and extends in turns, with at least two electrical conductors, the length of which is substantially greater than the distance between the two terminals. The cassette (K) includes a fixed stator and a rotatable rotor between which the ribbon cable is arranged. At least one of the two terminals is movable relative to the other, and the ribbon cable at its ends located in the area of the terminals is brought out of the cassette (K). To simplify the connection of the ribbon cable to the continuing cables (17) and to standardize the structure of the cassette (K), at least two plate-shaped contact carriers (18, 19), which enclose a clearance to receive mutually insulated electrical contacts, are mounted to the outside of the stator of the cassette.
