A connection system establishes an electrical connection between an electrical device and at least one pair of cables each of which ends with a cable terminal. The connection system comprises a fixed part including a support base adapted to be rigidly fitted to a wall of the electrical device and, for each cable, a connection screw protruding from the support base and electrically connectable to the electrical device. A mobile part includes a perimeter frame adapted to be mechanically fitted to the support base and having a passage wall defining, for each cable, a passage-through hole through which an end part of the cable passes so that the corresponding cable terminal is disposed inside the perimeter frame and aligned with the respective connection screw when the perimeter frame is mechanically fitted to the support base.

Connection system for establishing electrical connection between electrical device for automotive industry and at least one pair of cables

An electronic control unit includes: a printed circuit board, which supports an electric circuit, a plurality of electronic components electrically connected to the electric circuit, and at least one connector electrically connected to the electrical circuit. A housing accommodates therein the printed circuit board and comprises a base which supports the printed circuit board and a lid which closes over the base. At least one deformable, elastic, expanded blocking block is fixed to an internal surface of the lid near at least one electronic component, has sufficient thickness to vertically interfere with the first electronic component to be compressed between the lid and the first electronic component. It presents a larger area than the first electronic component to laterally encompass the first electronic component.
