  • Publication number: 20220333682
    Abstract: A control module of a vehicle includes a plurality of electromechanical functional elements arranged on a carrier plate and fixed in an interlocking and force-fitting manner to the carrier plate by clamping elements. The clamping elements are formed on a pressure plate that is secured to spacers of the carrier plate. To simplify production and fitting of the pressure plate provided with the clamping elements and to be able to use them with functional elements having different structural heights, the spacers have a slightly greater height than the structural height of the highest functional element. The pressure plate, for each of the functional elements, has at least one clamping element in the form of a clamping tab. The clamping tabs are each arranged at an opening in the pressure plate, which opening is partially closed by the clamping tabs, and are angled toward the carrier plate.

  • Patent number: 11300146
    Abstract: A securing arrangement for securing at least one component to an appliance is provided. The at least one component is arranged on a receiving region of the appliance. The securing arrangement comprises a securing element configured for locking connection of the at least one component to the appliance. The securing element comprises a plate and has weakened regions and deformation zones between at least one peripheral, unweakened receiving region and at least one pressure and centering region resting on a surface of the component. The securing arrangement further comprises a plurality of spacers extending from the receiving region of the appliance to below the height of the surface of the at least one component. The at least one unweakened receiving region of the securing element is configured to be braced against the spacers.

  • Patent number: 10886645
    Abstract: A contact element for connection of an electrical plug-in connector of electrical or electronic system components to an electronic printed board assembly is provided herein. The contact element has two mutually spaced arms, each having a circular free end. The arms are connected to one another via a contact portion. At one end, the contact element has an extension piece for the electrical connection to the printed board assembly. The contact element has a cutout over its entire length. The cutout is narrowed in the contact portion by contact projections projecting into the cutout. A clamping region for the force-fitting and electrically conductive clamping of the plug-in connector is formed. The arms are arranged at an angle with respect to the contact portion in such a way that they extend in two different planes.

  • Publication number: 20190014660
    Abstract: A circuit of an electronic control unit is disclosed, with a plurality of conductor tracks manufactured in punched-grid constructional form or in flexible-film constructional form, of which at least one conductor track comprises a contact region with at least one conductor-track contact bore for pressing in a contact pin of a connector element or of an electronic component. The contact region of the conductor track is reinforced with an additional supporting washer comprising an electrically conducting metal sheet, and the supporting washer covers the contact region of the conductor track. The supporting washer is further provided with a supporting-washer contact bore arranged coaxially with respect to the conductor-track contact bore, and the supporting washer is arranged on one side of the conductor track and also connected to the conductor track.
