Abstract: An electrical device, and in particular a switching and controlling device for motor vehicles, has a housing, a printed circuit board arranged in the housing and fitted with electrical components, and, passing through a housing wall, a plug-and-socket connector which has a first part, connected to the printed circuit board and a second part, parallel to a printed-circuit-board surface and capable of fitting together with the first part. The first and second part of the plug-and-socket connector are arranged over the printed-circuit-board surface.

Abstract: A housing, in particular for electric switchgear and control gear, includes a first housing part and a second housing part to be detachably attached to the former. The housing also includes a lock whose at least one blocking element is movable in a displacement direction from an open position into a closed position by an operating slide connected to it, with the first housing part having at least one element engageable in a recess in the second housing part in the closed position, with a seating face arranged parallel to the displacement direction, and a section of the blocking element being in contact with the seating face on a side of the recess opposite the operating slide.

Abstract: An electrical device with component heat dissipation, particularly a switching and control device for motor vehicles, includes a circuit board arranged in a package. The circuit board is equipped with electrical components, whose heat energy can be dissipated onto the circuit board, and a plug-in connector which has a connecting part connected with the circuit board and a plug-in connector base arranged adjacent to a circuit board surface. The circuit board rests on heat-conductive support surfaces formed inside on the package, and the device has a wedge whose bottom wedge side surface rests against the circuit board surface and whose opposite side engages with a bearing surface on the package in order to press the circuit board against the support surfaces.

Abstract: A device with components arranged on a p.c. board and attached by connector contact pads, fasteners for additionally fixing the components in place, and at least one connector strip positioned above the p.c. board surface and attached to the p.c. board, with the fasteners being structural elements molded on the connector strip, and at least one component being arranged and fixed in place between the structural elements and the p.c. board.

Abstract: The invention is based on a unit for a vehicle brake system, having a housing block into which magnet valves and optionally other components to be interconnected electrically are built in. The magnet valves are covered by a housing cap, which has externally accessible plug connectors for the magnet valves. To protect the plug connectors against splashing water and dirt when the unit is mounted near the wheel, at least one cover provided, which together with the housing cap forms cable leadthroughs for cables that are connected electrically to the plug connectors.

Abstract: An electrical device for a motor vehicle comprises a housing, a printed board carrying an electric circuit and arranged in the housing, the housing being provided with a plurality of webs for abutting the printed board and an elastic element by which the printed board is pressed on the webs.

Abstract: A housing for an electronic circuit, in particular for an electronic control circuit of a motor vehicle internal combustion engine has a circuit accommodation area, a connection area, a distribution area, and a connection device for a separable electrical connection of information and supply leads. The housing has two housing parts which are separable from one another and include a first housing part having accommodating area and a second housing part having the connection area for the connection device and having the distribution area. A dividing part separates the connection area and the distribution area. Contact connections for the connection device are provided on the dividing part. The first housing part has a base wall which in a closed condition of the housing closes the second housing part.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electromagnetic relay whose armature assembly is protected against jarring impacts. The armature assembly is tiltably supported in a recess stamped out in an end portion of the magnetic yoke of the relay. Lateral inner walls of the recess are formed at their free ends with shoulders for engaging a flat biasing spring of the armature assembly. At least one lateral portion of the magnetic yoke delimiting the recess is formed with a constricted region, for example with a cutout in a corner between an inner wall and the bottom wall of the recess. The constriction permits the bending of the lateral projection into an open condition in which the corresponding shoulder is out of the way during the insertion of the armature assembly into the recess. Upon the insertion, the lateral projection is bent toward the armature until the corresponding shoulder overlaps the armature edge.

Abstract: To eliminate welded or soldered connections between the fine or thin secondary wire (18, 18a) of an ignition coil and the high-voltage terminal plug, the high-voltage terminal arrangement includes a tubular stub (19) having a conical opening (29) therein, within which the end portion (18a) of the secondary wire can be placed, preferably in form of twisted-together loops (28), and the connection is effected by a screw machine part (30) in form of a conical plug, press-fitted within the conical opening, and making electrical connection with the twisted wire, while being retained securely within the stub (19). After insertion, the plug, the primary and secondary windings, and the core can all be molded or potted by being surrounded with a plastic injection molding or a potting compound. The twisted wire ends can be pre-tinned, and the surface of the plug smooth; or the surface of the plug can be knurled, stippled or ridged to bite through magnet wire insulation.
