Abstract:
1. A sealing strip for mechatronics of an automatic transmission ( 12 ) with an electronic module ( 14 ) and an electrohydraulic control unit, the electronic module ( 14 ) being installed electrically connected, via terminal connectors ( 20 ), with at least one of an actuator ( 16 ) and a sensor of the electrohydraulic control unit, the sealing strip being inserted between the electronic module ( 14 ) and the at least one actuator ( 16 ) and sensor and comprising an elastically moldable soft material element ( 10 ), the soft material element ( 10 ) shielding a plurality of electrical contact points ( 18 ) between the electronic module ( 14 ) and the at least one actuator ( 16 ) and sensor against contamination, particularly by metal shavings, as a sealing strip, which is fitted onto the terminal connectors ( 20 ) of the plurality of electrical contact points ( 18 ) and, during installation, only penetrated by the terminal connectors ( 20 ), the sealing strip being configured as the soft material element ( 10 ) and, in an installed condition, provides a full contact seal for the plurality of electrical contact points ( 18 ) between contacts of the electronic module ( 14 ) and the at least one actuator ( 16 ) and sensor and individually encloses the plurality of electrical contact points ( 18 ).
