  • Electronic control device
    Patent number: 8929078
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic control device (10) having electronic components (160, 162) on a circuit board (110) which are shielded from electrical and/or magnetic interference fields. According to the invention, an electrically conductive sheet metal part (170) is arranged on the circuit board (110) which forms a Faraday cage for the electronic components (160, 162) with the circuit board. The electrically conductive sheet metal part (170) is furthermore in thermal contact to the electronic components (160, 162) and in thermal contact to the housing (100) of the control device (10) and thereby deflects heat from the electronic components (160, 162) into the housing (100).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 25, 2010
    Date of Patent: January 6, 2015
    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH
