  • Patent number: 9839150
    Abstract: A multi-part sealing system is provided for a housing of a motor vehicle control unit. The housing includes a first housing part and at least one additional housing part, with at least one electronic component in the interior of the housing and at least one conducting structure which leads out of the interior of the housing and connects an electronic component in the interior of the housing to components outside the housing in an electrically conductive manner. At least one housing part has at least one device for accommodating at least one part of the multi-part sealing system. A first part of the sealing system is suitable for preventing liquid harmful or noxious substances from penetrating into the interior of the housing and additional parts of the sealing system are suitable for preventing gaseous harmful or noxious substances from penetrating into the interior of the housing.

  • Patent number: 9497875
    Abstract: A control device for a motor vehicle includes a housing having a housing cover and a housing base, a sealing device between the housing cover and the housing base, at least one circuit carrier having electrically conductive tracks, and at least one electronic component disposed on the circuit carrier. The control device further includes at least one conductor structure extending out of the interior of the housing, and at least one electrically conductive connecting line which connects the electronic component to the conductor structure. A getter layer is thermally sprayed on the inner face of the housing to protect the metal parts, which transmit current or data in the interior of the control device, against corrosive gases. The getter layer has a high specific surface area.
