  • Patent number: 9642288
    Abstract: A control device includes a first circuit carrier with electrical components that are electrically conductively connected to one another and a second circuit carrier with electrical components that are electrically conductively connected to one another. The first circuit carrier and the second circuit carrier are electrically conductively connected to one another. The second circuit carrier is fixedly connected in thermally conductive fashion to a fluid-tight thermally conductive carrier element. The second circuit carrier and the carrier element are arranged in a cutout of the first circuit carrier. The carrier element has better thermal conductivity than the first circuit carrier and can be thermally conductively connected to a heat sink. The carrier element is integrated in fluid-tight fashion in an internal region of the first circuit carrier.

  • Publication number: 20170086313
    Abstract: An electronic control module for a gear mechanism controller in motor vehicles includes a printed circuit board and an electrical component. The printed circuit board has a mounting side and includes conductor tracks. The electrical component has an electrically conductive connection section. The control module further includes a press contact that is pressed into an opening in the printed circuit board such that it is mechanically fixed to the printed circuit board. The press contact forms an electrical contact with a conductor track of the printed circuit board via an electrically conductive mating connection section of the press contact. The connection section of the electrical component is connected to the mating connection section of the press contact by a welded connection. The connection technique enables soldered connections to be dispensed with and replaced by cold pressing of press contacts and subsequent welding by, for example, a copper/copper laser welding process.

  • Patent number: 7267111
    Abstract: Known fuel injectors have a valve housing in which an actuator and an hydraulic coupler are arranged, an electrical plug being provided on the valve housing for contact with a voltage source. The cables running from the plug to the actuator must be guided around the coupler to the actuator. It is disadvantageous that the compensating movements put heavy mechanical stress on the cables, so that a cable fracture as a result of material fatigue occurs after a predefined service life of the fuel injector, or that the solder or welding points of the cables tear. This leads to malfunctioning of the fuel injector. In the present fuel injector, the service life is increased by the provision of connections without cables. The earth pole of the actuator is electrically connected to the ground terminal of the plug in a cable-less manner, and the positive pole of the actuator is electrically connected to the positive terminal in a cable-less manner.
