Abstract: A control unit for use in the engine compartment or in the transmission of a motor vehicle. The control unit has a line section for an engine or transmission fluid, a circuit carrier, and a base plate. The base body is mounted on the base plate. The circuit carrier is arranged between the base body and the base plate. The base body has a plurality of parallel channels each having a respective outlet. At least one of the plurality of parallel channels forms a portion of the line section. A separate cover is mounted on the base body, the cover having a single inlet coupled to the plurality of parallel channels. The cover is, other than only the inlet, connected to the base body in a fluid-tight manner, and the inlet is the only fluid passage through the cover.

Abstract: A sensor assembly includes a metal carrier plate (2) and a sensor housing (3) made of plastic, that contains at least one sensor element. The sensor housing (3) is connected to the carrier plate (2) by at least one screw (5) that extends through a through hole (6) of the carrier plate and is screwed into a screwing channel (7) defined in the plastic housing material of the sensor housing. As a result, the sensor assembly has a secure screwed connection.

Abstract: The invention discloses a sensor carrier (1), in particular for use in a local control unit of a motor vehicle, comprising a carrier plate (2) for accommodating and positioning at least one sensor (3) and a flexible conductor foil (4) on the carrier plate (2) as an electrical connection between the sensor (3) on the carrier plate (2) and the control unit. A strip-shaped cantilever (5) extends away from the carrier plate (2) such that the sensor (3) that is located at the end of said cantilever (5) will be placed in its intended sensing position when the control unit is installed in a motor vehicle. The carrier plate (2) may comprise more than one strip-shaped cantilever (5) and form a sensor module (6) in this way.

Abstract: A controller for a motor vehicle with a carrier plate for receiving a component carrier with a component carrier foot. The carrier plate has a recess through which the component carrier can be passed and which is suitable for receiving the foot, wherein the dimensions of the recess in the region of the component carrier and in the region of the foot in the X/Y-direction correspond to maximum admissible dimensions of the component carrier and of the foot (5) in the X/Y-direction. In the Z-direction, a pressing geometry is arranged on the recess or on the foot such that after establishing a positive-fit or non-positive connection between the carrier plate and a system interface, the pressing geometry or a part that is arranged opposite the pressing geometry is in such a deformed state that the foot is in the recess in a fixed state and without play.

Abstract: A sensor arrangement has a sensor element. A contact element is in electrical contact on the one hand with the sensor element and on the other with contact pins. The contact element is insert moulded with a plastic body. Affixing positions to which the contact element has been affixed, and on which the contact element is exposed respectively have one collar made of plastic material which runs around the exposed areas of the contact element. A sensor arrangement results for which the cost of manufacture is lower than that of the prior art, while the same security against unwanted electrostatic discharging or against the formation of an unwanted short circuit remains.

Abstract: An arrangement of an electronic component in a plastic housing, including a cover and a lower part, and to a method for fixing the electronic component in the housing. The cover is connected to the lower part and exerts a pre-defined force (F) on the electronic component. The cover is designed such that the influence of the height tolerance (dh) of the electronic component on the force (F) can be compensated to the effect that, once the cover has been mounted, the force (F) applied to the lower part is in a pre-defined force range (B).

Abstract: A housing for retaining an electronic component, including a lid and a lower part made of synthetic material, wherein the lid is joined in a force-fit manner to the lower part by clamping geometry, and in order to affix the electronic component in position, the lid applies a specified force (F) to the electronic component after being joined to the lower part due to its design. Here, the lid is designed in such a manner that the force (F) applied lies within a specified force range (B), and that the clamping geometry comprises a groove on the lower part and a ridge on the lid which grips into the groove, wherein a clamp web on the lower part or on the lid is arranged in such a manner that the lid is removably clamped to the lower part after being joined to the lower part with a force (F) which acts parallel to the clamping force (KF).
