Abstract: A cable adapter (1) for collecting and forwarding analog signals from a plurality of sensors (103, 105) in a motor vehicle (100), in particular brake lining wear sensors of a utility vehicle disc brake, has first and second signal input terminals (5, 7) for connecting the cable adapter (1) to sensors (103, 105) and for receiving signal currents (20, 22). The cable adapter (1) has a signal output terminal for connecting the cable adapter (1) to an electronic control unit (113) of the motor vehicle (100) and switching electronics (13) that are configured to transmit the first and second signal currents (20, 22; 21, 23; 21?, 23?) to the signal output terminal (9) at a predetermined rhythm.

Abstract: Disclosed is a support (10) for a sensor element (11). The support (10) is for potting and manufacturing a rotational speed sensor. The support (10) comprises an at least partially hollow body for accommodating electric contacts and a potting compound. According to the invention, a cover (25) is provided for covering and filling a recess defined by the at least partially hollow body.

Abstract: An electronic unit housing includes (i) a receiving space for receiving a printed circuit board, (ii) at least one foot, which is designed to fasten the electronic unit housing onto a base, and is disposed to the side of the receiving space relative to a projection of the receiving space onto the base, and (iii) a venting device, which opens on the underside of the electronic unit housing facing the base.

Abstract: A control device for pressurized fluids includes a valve mechanism actuated by a first device incorporating electromagnets in a first housing, and a second device incorporating a circuit board for controlling the valve mechanism in a second housing. Pins on the first device and sockets on the second device automatically form an electrical plug-type connection when the housings are joined. Each socket is received in a first portion of a through-hole provided in a mount supported on the circuit board such that it extends into a corresponding through-hole in the circuit board. A second portion of each through-hole in each mount has a funnel-shaped guide opening toward the pins. A pressure sensor supported by the circuit board forms a plug-type engagement with a port extending from the valve mechanism when the housings are joined. Contacts extend from the sensor into holes in the circuit board.

Abstract: An electric contact plug receives a tip jack input at a plug-in zone, and completes the electrical connection via a connection zone to an electronic component, such as a printed circuit board. The electric contact plug also includes an intermediate zone, connected between the plug-in zone and the connection zone. The intermediate zone is designed to deform mechanically when the plug-in zone is subjected to vibrational stresses, as typically occur in a motor vehicle. As a result, the tip jack is held securely within the plug-in zone, while the intermediate zone absorbs the effects of the vibrational stresses. Thus, the inventive electric contact plug avoids the problems of friction and corrosion within the plug-in zone. Moreover, this electric contact plug is compatible with thick-wire bonding, and can be manufactured economically.
