Abstract: To reduce the space of a control device having a power circuit and an electronic component, the power circuit including components to which higher currents are applied, in particular currents in the range of 5 A to 70 A, and the electronic component including a switching logic realized on a circuit board, the electrical connections between the components of the power circuit are realized by a single-layer pressed screen. Receptacles for the contact pins of the components are formed in the pressed screen. The receptacles are arranged and formed in such a way that the components are held in frictional engagement in the receptacles and are electrically contacted via the contact pins.

Abstract: To reduce the space of a control device having a power circuit (2) and an electronic component (1), the power circuit (2) including components (4) to which higher currents are applied, in particular currents in the range of 5 A to 70 A, and the electronic component (1) including a switching logic realized on a circuit board (3), it is proposed to realize the electrical connections between the components (4) of the power circuit (2) by a single-layer pressed screen (6), to form receptacles (7) for the contact pins (5) of the components (4) in the pressed screen (6) and to arrange and form the receptacles (7) in such a way that the components (4) are held in frictional engagement in the receptacles (7) and are electrically contacted via the contact pins (5).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical contact element (1) for contacting a contact pin (4), the electrical contact element taking the form of a closed, planar, ring-shaped element; having at least one deformable, inwardly directed, retaining lip (2); and being made out of one piece.

Abstract: A multi-pole electrical connector is to be designed such that it is usable under cramped installation conditions and can be cost-effectively produced. The connector has a contact set having a plurality of contact elements, each of which has a connecting section and a contact section. Both the connecting sections and the contact sections are formed from a single-layer stamped grid and are arranged in one plane. This connector is provided for use in the automobile industry, particularly in fuse boxes and electrical-system control units of motor vehicles.
