Abstract: A circuit of an electronic control unit is disclosed, with a plurality of conductor tracks manufactured in punched-grid constructional form or in flexible-film constructional form, of which at least one conductor track comprises a contact region with at least one conductor-track contact bore for pressing in a contact pin of a connector element or of an electronic component. The contact region of the conductor track is reinforced with an additional supporting washer comprising an electrically conducting metal sheet, and the supporting washer covers the contact region of the conductor track. The supporting washer is further provided with a supporting-washer contact bore arranged coaxially with respect to the conductor-track contact bore, and the supporting washer is arranged on one side of the conductor track and also connected to the conductor track.

Abstract: A control unit housing has connector pins arranged therein. Each pin has a first contact end directed to the housing interior for a press-fit connection to a circuit board insertable therein, and a second contact end directed out of the housing for connecting an electrical plug connector or the like. The housing is designed as a header that is open on one side and has an access opening for inserting the circuit board. The access opening can be closed by a cover after mounting the circuit board. The connector pins are substantially right-angled pins arranged in the region of a side wall of the housing. The pins are anchored in the housing by the second contact ends running approximately at right angles to the first contact ends, such that the mounting forces acting on the first contact ends during press-fit connecting are received by the housing.

Abstract: A contacting module for a transmission controller comprises a module housing and a punched grill. The punched grill is composed of metal, accommodated in the module housing, and has several conducting tracks with free ends. Contact surfaces are formed at the free ends. Free spaces are formed in the module housing and extend through the housing in a substantially vertical direction. At least some of the free ends are arranged at least partially in the free spaces, where the contact surfaces of at least some of the free ends extend substantially in the vertical direction, and where at least some of the free ends are elastically yielding at least in the area of the contact surfaces.

Abstract: An apparatus for connection to a transmission actuator of an engine transmission includes sensors for sensing transmission shifting positions of a shifting device. An interface transfers the evaluation signals of the sensors to the control electronics of the transmission actuator. The sensors are arranged such that their spacing from the interface (2) is smaller than the spacing between the interface and the sensed shifting device.

Abstract: An electric contact plug receives a tip jack input at a plug-in zone, and completes the electrical connection via a connection zone to an electronic component, such as a printed circuit board. The electric contact plug also includes an intermediate zone, connected between the plug-in zone and the connection zone. The intermediate zone is designed to deform mechanically when the plug-in zone is subjected to vibrational stresses, as typically occur in a motor vehicle. As a result, the tip jack is held securely within the plug-in zone, while the intermediate zone absorbs the effects of the vibrational stresses. Thus, the inventive electric contact plug avoids the problems of friction and corrosion within the plug-in zone. Moreover, this electric contact plug is compatible with thick-wire bonding, and can be manufactured economically.
