Abstract: The invention relates to a control device having a casing, control electronics located in the casing, and at least one electrical feedthrough. By means of the electrical feedthrough, current can be provided for a load which is located outside the casing of the control device. The electrical feedthrough is located on the casing. The casing is fluid-tight at least in part, and the electrical feedthrough is located in a fluid-tight region of the casing. The electrical feedthrough has a metal core and an insulator surrounding the metal core. The metal core has an end face. A first bond is provided between the end face of the metal core and the control electronics, the first bond being laser-bonded at the end face.
