Abstract
An electric heating device includes an electronics housing with a partition wall which separates a connection chamber from a heating chamber for emitting heat to a medium to be heated, and a fluid housing which delimits the heating chamber. At least one PTC heating device is connected to the heating chamber in a thermally conductive manner and is electrically connected in the connection chamber. A control device is located, at least in part, in the connection chamber and includes a circuit breaker that bears against a channel base. The channel base is located outside the heating chamber and is formed by the partition wall. The channel base, together with a channel top, forms a channel through which the medium can flow. This eliminates the need for complex heat sinks or the like, and the waste heat from the circuit breaker can be used to heat the medium.
