A housing for a control device in vehicles is provided. The housing satisfies the requirements of acceleration transmission and reliable ground connection with a simple and inexpensive construction. The housing comprises a metallic shell that has parallel top and bottom walls, opposed side walls interconnecting the top and bottom walls and an open front face. A shaped carrier structure has a pair of opposed lateral edges. Both side walls of the shell have an internal groove extending parallel to and spaced from the bottom wall of the shell. The carrier structure is accommodated within the shell and has its lateral edges fitted in the grooves of the side walls.

Housing for an electronic control device in vehicles

A housing for electronic control devices in motor vehicles comprises a generally parallelepipedal frame of plastics and a metallic envelope with spaced parallel top and bottom walls interconnected by parallel side walls and at least one open face. The top, bottom and side walls define a space and the frame is fitted into such space. The control device includes a printed circuit board and electronic components connected to the printed circuit board and engaged in shaped holding structures of the frame. The printed circuit board is located between the bottom wall and the frame. The printed circuit board is rigidly connected to the metallic envelope by metallic fasteners extending from the top wall through the frame and to the printed circuit board.

Housing for an electronic control device in motor vehicles

An electronic control device for use in a vehicle has a metallic housing ( ) to accommodate electronic components of the device Plural shaped guide elements ( ) are formed on the inside of the housing ( ) Fastening members ( ) for an electronic component ( ) can be engaged in a form-fitting manner into elongate channels defined by the rail-shaped guide elements ( ).

Electronic control device for use in vehicles

A housing for use in a vehicle to accommodate a printed circuit board ( ) carrying electronic components is provided. The housing has a generally parallelepipedal hood ( ) made of plastics and having a plug collar ( ) on one of its narrow side walls ( ). A base plate closes off the hood ( ). The printed circuit board ( ) is mechanically and electrically conductively connected on three of the four corners of the hood ( ) to a metallic mounting bushing ( ). At each of these corners, the hood ( ) has a mounting flange ( ) and the mounting bushings ( ) are anchored in the mounting flanges ( ) of the hood ( ).

A switch includes a deflectable inertial mass that responds to acceleration. The inertial mass is for activating a switching system. The inertial mass is suspended on two parallel, elastically deflectable support arms having a first, firmly anchored end and a second, movable end to which the inertial mass is attached.

Mechanical acceleration sensor

A pressure sensor comprises a sensor diaphragm which on one of its surfaces can be acted upon by the fluid pressure to be defected. The sensor diaphragm is rigidly supported at its opposite surface. It is made of an elastomeric material of an electrically non-conducting material wherein fine particles of electrically conducting material are homogenously embedded and distributed in such a density that a compression of the sensor diaphragm caused by the fluid pressure results in a measurable change in its electrical resistivity.

A housing for an electronic control device in vehicles comprises a bottom part ( ) which has a metallic baseplate ( ), and a cover part ( ) made of plastic. The bottom part ( ) has a front wall ( ) made of plastic that rises up from the baseplate and to which a plug collar ( ) is integrally molded. The plug collar ( ) defines an accommodation for a contact pin carrier ( ) formed as a flat strip with through holes for passing contact pins ( ). The contact pin carrier ( ) can be inserted into the plug collar ( ) from inside of the housing.

The invention relates to a device for monitoring the locking position of a connecting device especially the locking position of a device for fixing a child seat in a motor vehicle, with a base body which can be connected with a support component capable of being locked with a locking component a slider arranged in the base body which when the base body is joined with the support component can be impinged at time of transfer of locking component to the locking position by the locking component and displaced from an initial position into an end position corresponding to the locking position, and with a detection device provided in or at the base body for detection of the correct locking position of the locking component and the support component by detection of the position of the slider whereby the detection device registers, in addition to the locking position, at least one additional position of the slider at a distance from the locking position.

A pressure sensor unit,is provided, specifically for automotive engineering applications. A pressure measuring cell,is disposed within a main body housing,, the main body housing having a recess,holding a pressure sensor,and a pressure transmission medium,. A separation membrane,is disposed between the pressure transmission medium and a supply opening,formed in the housing,, the separation membrane separating the sensed pressure medium from the pressure transmission medium and also closing off and admission opening,in the measuring cell housing. The separation medium is held in place between an exterior surface of the measuring cell housing and an interior cooperating surface of the main body housing whereby a sealing closure of the admission opening is established by means of a relative clamping force between the respective cooperating exterior surface of the measuring cell housing and the interior surface of the main body housing when the measuring cell housing and the main body housing are brought into a respective connected position.
