Abstract:
A subassembly, intended for use in motor vehicles in particular, consisting of a multi-part housing, a plug unit with a plurality of individual connecting pins, and a printed circuit board incorporating strip conductors and capable of accommodating components; and wherein: the plug unit forms an integral part of the housing; the circuit board is arranged such that the plug unit connecting pins extend directly onto the circuit board; the connecting pins are provided with tapered tips; and metallized bores, connected to the strip conductors, are arranged on the circuit board, with the connecting pins each having an outer diameter somewhat larger than the diameter of the respective metallized bores, with electrical and mechanical contact-making resulting from the pressing of the connecting pins into the respective metallized bores so that an outer surface of the connecting pins with the outer diameter contacts an inner surface of the metallized bores.
