Abstract:
A control unit for a motor vehicle having electrical components, comprising:a printed circuit carrier structure having at least one substantially planar surface; a base plate, disposed in the printed circuit carrier structure, having at least one substantially planar surface continuing the at least one substantially planar surface of the printed circuit carrier structure and an outer contour substantially surrounded by the printed circuit carrier structure; a housing lid coupled to the base plate in an oil-tight fashion; an electronic circuit accommodated in a cavity formed by the housing lid and the base plate; and a flexible printed circuit board electrically connecting the electronic circuit to the electrical components outside the cavity by extending on the substantially planar surfaces of the base plate and the printed circuit carrier structure, from the base plate inside the cavity, between the housing lid and the base plate, to the electrical components, the flexible printed circuit board being selectively positioned by the printed circuit carrier structure between the outer contour of the base plate and the electrical components.
