  • Arrangement for providing electrical connections with an engine control unit
    Patent number: 6247435
    Abstract: In an arrangement for providing electrical connections between an engine control unit and electric power consumers disposed on a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine, particularly an electromagnetic valve control arrangement, wherein the cylinder head comprises a first housing part and a second housing part consisting of a frame structure mounted onto the first housing part. The second housing part includes electrical components with receptacles which are connected outside the second housing part to the engine control unit and the power consumers have communication lines provided with plugs plugged into the receptacles within the second housing part for electrical connection to the engine control unit. A cylinderhead cover is mounted onto the frame structure.
