Abstract:
A circuit board assembly for a control unit of a motor vehicle has a multi-layer circuit board and a plug connector with a housing faceplate. The circuit board, which includes conductor paths for conducting signals, has a first section, a second section, and a flexible third section with a lower stiffness between the first and second sections. The first section encloses an angle φ with the second section. The plug connector has a multiplicity of connection elements, each with an attachment part and a contact pin. The housing faceplate has first and second side panels each enclosing an angle β with the first panel central plane and an angle γ with the second panel central plane. A first detent element prevents a change in the angle φ in a first direction of rotation. A second detent element prevents a change in the angle φ in a second direction of rotation.

Claim (Index 13):
A circuit board assembly for a control unit of a motor vehicle, the assembly comprising:\n a multi-layer circuit board and a plug connector with a housing faceplate; said circuit board having optical conductor paths for conducting optical signals and/or electrical conductor paths for conducting electrical signals, said circuit board having a panel-shaped first section, a panel-shaped second section, and a flexible third section formed between said first and second sections, said third section having a lower stiffness than said first and second sections, and said third section mechanically and electrically connecting said first and second sections such that a first panel central plane of said first section encloses an angle \u03c6 with a second panel central plane of said second panel section; said plug connector having a multiplicity of connection elements each with an attachment part and at least one contact pin, said attachment parts being arranged in a common enclosure that projects out of said housing faceplate, and each said at least one contact pin being electrically and mechanically connected to said second section; said housing faceplate having first and second panel-shaped side elements, said side elements having panel central planes each enclosing an angle \u03b2 with the first panel central plane and an angle \u03b3 with the second panel central plane; at least one of said first or second side elements having a first detent element configured to lock said housing faceplate on said first section of said circuit board and to compensate for restoring forces of said third section to prevent a change in the angle \u03c6 in a first direction of rotation; and at least one of said first or second side elements having a second detent element configured to prevent a change in the angle \u03c6 in a second direction of rotation.
