Abstract
An electronic device, including a housing part having at least one closable opening and one plug-in part, the housing part accommodating a printed circuit board, which has at least one electrical and/or electronic component arranged thereon, and electrical contact elements, which are electrically connected to the plug-in part, and which have ends in the housing interior that run parallel to each other and protrude in the direction of the at least one opening, the ends being passed through contact openings of the printed circuit board and being connected conductively to the printed circuit board. To protect impact-sensitive and vibration-sensitive components, it is proposed to provide the contact elements, on a part of their length not inserted into the contact openings, with elastically deformable segments and to flexibly support the printed circuit board in the housing part by the contact element configured in this way, and, additionally, to connect it via damping elements at least indirectly to the housing part.
