A bridge element () for establishing an electrical connection and at least one mechanical connection between an actuator () and a bridge element () for a transmission control unit of a transmission includes first electrical contacts () and second electrical contacts (), which are connected to the first electrical contacts () with electrical conductors (), and at least first mechanical connecting elements () proximate the first electrical contacts ().

Bridge element for establishing an electrical connection, and arrangement

An assembly element for establishing an electrical contact to an actuator for a vehicle transmission may include a base plate and two electrical circuit points projecting on one side of the base plate for the assembly element. The assembly element has a shavings protection device provided at least partially between the electrical circuit points, which is designed to at least partially impede a short circuit between the contacts when the assembly element is in contact with the actuator.
