Abstract:
An electronic connection cover for a hydraulic component housing, comprising,a cover housing with interior and exterior compartments, and a face for interfacing with an opening in a hydraulic component housing, an electrical control component in the interior compartment for electrical controlling of a hydraulic component in a hydraulic component housing, the face of the cover housing having a terminal wall closing an end to the exterior compartment opposite an open end of the exterior compartment, a printed circuit board secured to the face of the cover housing and superimposed over the terminal wall and having an electrical circuit including surface mounted electrical components imposed on one side thereof opposite to the terminal wall, the electrical circuit being operatively connected to the electrical control components in the interior compartment, the surface mounted electrical components being positioned for interaction with electrical control components in a hydraulic component housing to which the cover is attached, connecting pins extending from the electrical circuit through the printed circuit board and the terminal wall and protruding into the exterior compartment for connection to exterior circuitry, and a seal element between the terminal wall and the printed circuit board to prevent the passage of hydraulic fluid into or out of a hydraulic component housing to which the cover is attached.
