  • Patent number: 7419228
    Abstract: A hydraulic assembly for slip-controlled brake systems of motor vehicles, having a valve block with receiving bores, each for a hydraulic part of electromagnetically actuated valves, each of which contains magnetically active elements and a respective electric part having an electric coil encompassing the valve dome, a coil housing, and a washer that is contained at least indirectly in the coil housing, on the side oriented toward the hydraulic part. The washers of at least some of the valves are interconnected to form a multi-washer component. The production of the hydraulic assembly then includes the production of a structural unit, which supports the respective electric parts of at least some of the valves, by connecting the coil housing to the associated washers of the multi-washer component, and the placement of this structural unit onto the valve block by introducing the valve domes into through openings of the washers.

  • Patent number: 6935706
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrohydraulic brake slip control device for motor vehicles, including one or more electromagnetically actuatable hydraulic valves contained in a valve block, having valve domes, which protrude at least partway beyond the valve block in the direction of a valve axis and each engage in a coil opening of an electric coil held by a coil holder, and having contact elements, which protrude away from the coils and through openings of a top plate, in order to electrically activate the coils. At least some of the coils are held against the coil holder in a plane perpendicular to the valve axes with an easily moving play, but also in a position-oriented fashion and, after their alignment produced by the engagement of the valve domes in the associated coil openings, can be rigidly fixed in the aligned position.

  • Patent number: 6025710
    Abstract: In a connection arrangement between a sensor and connection leads, only a small installation space is required. To this end, the connection arrangement has a signal amplifier, which is electrically contacted by means of bond connections with the sensor and the connection leads. This is achieved by means of connecting elements, which are designed as thin sheet-metal shaped parts and are fixed with tab-shaped end sections in a housing of plastic, in which the signal amplifier is also inserted. The end sections, the signal amplifier, and the bond connections are arranged in a space-saving manner in roughly one plane. The connection arrangement is especially suited for sensors used to measure the speed of motor vehicles.

  • Patent number: 5908336
    Abstract: A multipole electrical plug connector having contact elements narrowly spaced from one another, and the plug connector having small dimensions in a manner favorable in terms of production engineering. To this end, the plug connector has contact elements, each having an attachment section and a contact section, whose attachment sections are manufactured from a one-piece self-supporting punched grid. The thickness d of the punched grid is independent of the thickness a of the contact sections, which are produced separately from the attachment sections and are assembled with them to form the contact elements, which upon integration into a housing of an electrical device are partially equipped with a sheathing made of plastic. The plug connector is preferably used in automotive engineering, for example, in electrical control units with highly integrated circuits.
