  • Patent number: 7108526
    Abstract: A component, equipped for rotational insertion into a circuit module, has at least one contact electrically coupled to a first terminus of a connecting wire. The connection wire has a second terminus electrically coupled to a counter-contact on the circuit module. The contact has an annular extension in the circumferential direction which encloses the counter-contact even when a radial center line of the contact area angular extension lies outside the counter-contact angular extension. The contact may be ring-segment shaped or ring shaped. Numerous contacts may be arranged at different radial distances from the component's axis of rotation.

  • Patent number: 7086289
    Abstract: A pressure sensor (3) is firmly connected to a base plate (1). The base plate (1) can be mounted, together with the pressure sensor (3), on a counterplate (7). The counterplate (7) has a drilled hole (8) through which pressure can be applied to the pressure sensor (3). The pressure sensor (3) has a connecting element (6) which projects, in the mounted state, into the drilled hole (8) in the counterplate (7).

  • Patent number: 7080575
    Abstract: A mechatronic transmission control is disclosed. The control comprises a housing (2) that can be installed in a motor vehicle transmission, an electronic control unit (3), whose components (5) are arranged on a fixed board (4) in the housing (2), sensor components (8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 17 to 24), which are coupled to the electronic control unit (3) and a flexible printed circuit board (6), on which the sensor components (8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 17 to 24) are positioned and which acts as an electrical and mechanical connection element between the sensor components (8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 17 to 24) and the electronic control unit (3).
