Abstract
A flexible connection arrangement is provided which is useful in a pressure control device for a braking system, for example, and a pressure control device utilizing the flexible arrangement is described. The flexible connection arrangement eliminates the need of an interrupting conductor, thereby reducing the number of components required in a pressure control device and reducing manufacturing cost, complexity and the size of the device. The connection arrangement includes a flexible, elastic arm which may be integrated with a bobbin of a coil, and a lead wire terminal which may be embedded in an elastic arm and extend therefrom to directly electrically connect with a control circuit board. The flexibility of the elastic arm allows relative movement between the coil and the control circuit board without damaging the electrical connections therebetween.
