Component housing of a vehicle headlight

Abstract

The invention relates to a vehicle headlight comprising at least one light source, at least one projection optical system, and an electronic component () with an active optical surface on a front face, an active thermal surface, and electric contacts. A component housing (), which is made of a housing shell () and a housing cover (), a first printed circuit board () and at least one first spacer () are also contained. The component housing () at least partly receives the electronic component (). The housing shell () comprises an assembly position for the electronic component () and a component opening () which is located in the region of the assembly position, in which the electronic component () is arranged, and by means of which the active optical surface of the electronic component () can be accessed. The electronic component () can be connected to the first printed circuit board () via the electric contacts of the electronic component. The housing shell () can be closed by the housing cover (). The at least one first spacer () is arranged between a paired support point and the housing cover (), wherein the support point lies on the first printed circuit board (), and at least one connection element is provided for producing a connection between the housing cover () and the housing shell (), said connection element being introducible preferably along an axis which runs transversely to the printed circuit board ().
