Abstract
An electronic-control unit () includes a conductor board () made of a flexible substrate and defining at least one conducting path and cut () of the board (). A basic body () is made of a thermally and electrically conductive material and thermally and electrically coupled to the board () and defines at least one elongated groove () that acts as a bending area () of the body () and expands over substantially an entire width of the body () in an aligned area of the cut () of the board () and a flat projection of the body () onto which the substrate is fastened. A basic-body-conductor-board unit is formed before the board () is assembled with at least one electronic component (). The basic-body-conductor-board unit is re-shaped into a desired geometry after the assembly of the board () with the component (). A method produces the basic-body-conductor-board unit.
