Patent ID: 8059407

Claim:
A control device for a motor vehicle which comprises: a) a base ( 2 ), which is mounted on or forms a part of a transmission hydraulic unit of the motor vehicle, and which includes a base plate and side walls that bound a recessed hollow area in the base, b) a housing lid ( 1 ), which is connected with the base ( 2 ) in an oil-tight manner, and which covers the hollow area ( 3 ) in the base ( 2 ), c) a circuit carrier ( 4 ), which has mounted thereon an electronic component ( 5 ) and/or an electrical contact area ( 6 ), and which is arranged within the hollow area ( 3 ) on the inner side of the housing lid ( 1 ), d) at least one foil conductor ( 7 ) for the electrical connection of the electronic component ( 5 ) and/or the electrical contact area ( 6 ) on the circuit carrier ( 4 ) with electronic components outside the hollow area ( 3 ), and e) an electrical connection line ( 8 ) respectively between the foil conductor ( 7 ) and the electronic component ( 5 ) and/or the electrical contact area ( 6 ) on the circuit carrier ( 4 ), wherein f) the housing lid ( 1 ) has at least one opening ( 9 ) in an area thereof surrounding the circuit carrier ( 4 ), adjacent to the electronic component ( 5 ) and/or the electrical contact area ( 6 ) on the circuit carrier ( 4 ), g) the foil conductor is a foil conductor strip ( 7 ) with an electrical contact area ( 11 ) provided on an end section ( 10 ) thereof, h) the foil conductor strip ( 7 ) is arranged on an outer side of the housing lid ( 1 ) so that the end section ( 10 ) of the foil conductor strip ( 7 ) completely covers the opening ( 9 ), i) over or in the opening ( 9 ), a lid plate ( 12 ) is attached so as to completely cover the opening ( 9 ), and so that the foil conductor strip ( 7 ), which is interposed between the lid plate ( 12 ) and the housing lid ( 1 ), is connected in an oil-tight manner with the housing lid ( 1 ), and j) the electrical connection line ( 8 ) respectively between the electronic component ( 5 ) and/or the electrical contact area ( 6 ) on the circuit carrier ( 4 ) and the electrical contact area ( 11 ) on the end section ( 10 ) of the foil conductor strip ( 7 ) is arranged in the opening ( 9 ).
