  • Patent number: 12170415
    Abstract: A plug-in connector device has a printed circuit board element, a first plug-in connector element which is electrically and mechanically connected to the printed circuit board element by a soldered connection, and a second plug-in connector element which is electrically and mechanically connected to the printed circuit board element by electrical press-in contacts. The second plug-in connector element has a housing section with a recess in which the first plug-in connector element is arranged in such a way that outer surfaces of the first plug-in connector element make contact with inner surfaces of the recess.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11737225
    Abstract: A housing has electrically conductive top and bottom parts which together form an accommodation chamber. A circuit board is arranged in the accommodation chamber. A bottom side of the circuit board is connected electrically to the top side via conductive bores. The circuit board has circuit components and electromechanical plug components for connecting to components outside the housing. A first electrically conductive separating wall electrically connects the housing top part to the top side of the circuit board. A second electrically conductive separating wall electrically connects the housing bottom part to the bottom side of the circuit board. The first and second separating walls subdivide the accommodation chamber into first and second accommodation-chamber sections that are disposed on opposite sides of the first and second separating walls.

  • Patent number: 10440844
    Abstract: A circuit board assembly for a control unit of a motor vehicle has a multi-layer circuit board and a plug connector with a housing faceplate. The circuit board, which includes conductor paths for conducting signals, has a first section, a second section, and a flexible third section with a lower stiffness between the first and second sections. The first section encloses an angle ? with the second section. The plug connector has a multiplicity of connection elements, each with an attachment part and a contact pin. The housing faceplate has first and second side panels each enclosing an angle ? with the first panel central plane and an angle ? with the second panel central plane. A first detent element prevents a change in the angle ? in a first direction of rotation. A second detent element prevents a change in the angle ? in a second direction of rotation.
