  • Such electrical connections are used for example in the use of transmission control units in motor vehicles, wherein the circuit carrier, on which, for example, a control unit is arranged in the control ⁇ device housing using a plug with electrical components outside the housing is electrically connected.
  • the plug is placed directly on the circuit board or the circuit board. This ensures that the tolerance chains are as short as possible during the production of the connection.
  • a disadvantage of this arrangement is that the opening in the housing wall must be slightly larger than the plug itself, which can lead to difficulties in sealing the plug to the housing wall.
  • Another disadvantage with this arrangement is that the contact surface between the housing inner wall and the circuit carrier, whose size among other things determines the amount of heat transfer from the circuit carrier to the housing, may be relatively low.
  • the plug is in contact with the circuit carrier with at least its entire cross-sectional area, the area of the circuit carrier is relatively large, which has a cost-increasing effect in the case of a high-quality ceramic circuit carrier.

  • Housing wall is smaller than the end face of the plug, especially in the event that the circuit carrier completely covers the opening, the contact surface between the
  • Circuit carrier to the housing.
  • Circuit carriers leads to a cost savings. In the connection according to the invention, however, it is not absolutely necessary for the circuit carrier to completely cover the opening, but it must be ensured that the electrical connection between the plug contact of the plug and the corresponding receptacle in the circuit carrier is made.
  • the circuit carrier is positively or positively connected to the plug, in particular by means of screws or rivets.
  • connection of a connection contact with the corresponding receptacle in the circuit carrier is designed as a so-called press-fit contact.
  • a press-fit contact is a press-in connection and is made by pressing a usually designed as a pin terminal in a executed as Wegternierts circuit board or printed circuit board hole recording. Decisive here is that the pin has a larger diagonal in cross section, as the plated-through PCB hole in diameter. This creates when pressing the pin in the recording an overpressure, which usually has to be absorbed by deformation of the pin. Due to the elastic behavior of the pin, the through-connection in the circuit carrier is less stressed.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing an electrical connection between a plug and a circuit board of the type mentioned above such that the connection with respect to the prior art in terms of effort in sealing the plug against the housing and in terms of positioning the involved components to each other is an improvement.
