A heat-conductive connection arrangement for connecting a printed circuit board to a cooling body. The connection arrangement has a carrier which is flat. At least part of the carrier includes at least one balloon body which faces away from the carrier and is connected to the carrier. The balloon body includes an envelope which encloses an interior, and the interior is at least in part filled with a preferably free-flowing, in particular viscous, heat-conducting substance. The envelope is configured so as to tear open under the influence of pressure and to thus release the heat-conducting substance.

Heat-conductive connection arrangement

An electrical device is provided, including a housing, a base, a cover, and a plug body connected to a printed-circuit board and projecting from housing. To achieve an excellent seal for the housing in a transitional region among the base, the cover, and an intermediate wall of the plug body, a groove is formed in the cover, in which a sealing compound is placed. During assembly of the components, the sealing compound is displaced from the intermediate wall in a region of an additional sealing compound applied to the base, the two sealing compounds meeting in an overlap region.

Housing for an electrical device, in particular a switching device or a control device in a motor vehicle

An electrical device is proposed which has a housing ( ), comprising at least two housing parts ( ), and an electronic circuit disposed in the housing ( ). A connection device ( ) for supplying voltage to the device and/or for signal transmission to the electronic circuit is present that can be secured to the housing ( ); the housing parts ( ) are joined to one another by laser welding at a joining edge ( ). The connection device ( ) is provided with a welding flange ( ), which comes to rest between the housing parts ( ) in such a way that an at least nonpositive connection of the housing parts ( ), with enclosure of the connection device ( ), can be produced.
