Abstract
A valve assembly for a vibration damper includes a valve housing, an actuator for driving an adjustable valve part, and a circuit arrangement having an opening which provides access to the actuator, wherein the actuator has a coil. The actuator and the circuit arrangement are arranged in the housing. A coating arranged on the circuit arrangement is shaped and dimensioned to position the circuit arrangement at a fixed position and orientation relative to the actuator. An outer plastic jacket is arranged over the coating of the circuit arrangement and encloses the coil of the actuator, so that the outer plastic jacket protects both the circuit arrangement and the coil.
