  • Patent number: 7229063
    Abstract: The invention concerns a pressure control valve for the control of the value of pressure in a hydraulic circuit, especially in a hydraulic circuit of a vehicle transmission, with a valve housing, with a solenoid coil, with an armature component group comprising an armature rod, an armature and advantageously, a spring, with a yoke and with a push rod, which is interposed between the armature rod and a control element, whereby the section of the valve housing (3) in the zone of the control element (16) consists of a plastic flange (2a), and further, the armature rod (1) possesses a control boring in the longitudinal direction, in which a pin (12, 12?, 12?) is inserted, the material and dimensioning are so selected, that the pin can compensate for a temperature based longitudinal change of the plastic flange (2a).

  • Publication number: 20050191867
    Abstract: An apparatus for the connection of an electrical or an electronic component 1 with at least one electrical conductor 10, 11, 18; 12, 13. In order to accomplish the realization of an electrical connection of the electrical conductor 10, 11, 18; 12, 13 with a component 1, which connection is vibration resistant, economical and of secure mounting characteristics, provision is made that a contacting apparatus is placed on the component 1 which contacting apparatus has at least one axial and radial electrical contact surface 21, 22, 23, which need not be precisely aligned or only roughly aligned, and which is in electrical communication with electric or electronic equipment within the housing 2 of the component, and on which the housing, at each contact surface 21, 22, 23, respectively, at least one electric conductor 10, 11, 18 in regard to interference with the contact point is mechanically permanently and electrically conductively affixed.
