Plug component for an electrical control unit
View Patent ↗A plug component for an electrical control unit has a contact section formed with one or more compartments, in which a number of contact pins extend perpendicular to a first reference plane. The plug component can be contacted mechanically and electrically with a plug via the contact section. An attachment section extends along the first reference plane and comprises a number of sealing sections, which are provided for resting against corresponding sealing sections of at least one housing component of the control unit. A first of the sealing sections runs in parallel to the first reference plane. Second sealing sections curve away from opposing free ends of the first sealing section and extend in a second reference plane which is arranged perpendicular to the first reference plane.
1. A plug component for an electrical control unit, comprising:
a contact section formed with one or more compartments, a plurality of contact pins disposed in said one or more compartments and extend perpendicular to a first reference plane, said contact section enabling the plug component to be contacted mechanically and electrically with a plug;
an attachment section extending along the first reference plane and including a plurality of sealing sections configured for resting against corresponding sealing sections of a housing component of the control unit;
said sealing sections including:
a first sealing section extending parallel to the first reference plane, and having mutually opposite free ends; and
one or more second sealing sections curving away from said free ends of said first sealing section and extending in a second reference plane perpendicular to the first reference plane or at a angle greater than 90° relative to the first reference plane;
said second sealing sections including at least one sealing web extending in the second reference plane and enclosing a given angle with the first reference plane.
2. The plug component according to claim 1 , wherein said first sealing section is formed as a web.
3. The plug component according to claim 1 , wherein said first and second sealing sections are formed with a groove.
4. The plug component according to claim 1 , wherein said first and second sealing sections are formed with a key.
5. The plug component according to claim 1 , wherein the given angle of said sealing web relative to the second reference plane is less than 90° and greater than 0°.
6. The plug component according to claim 1 , wherein the given angle of said sealing web relative to the first reference plane lies between 85° and 5°.
7. The plug component according to claim 1 , wherein the given angle of said sealing web relative to the first reference plane lies between 75° and 65°.
8. The plug component according to claim 1 , wherein the given angle of said sealing web relative to the first reference plane is approximately 70°.
9. The plug component according to claim 1 , formed of plastic material.
10. The plug component according to claim 1 , wherein a width of said first sealing section corresponds to a width of the control unit.
11. The plug component according to claim 10 , wherein the width of the control unit lies between 80 mm and 230 mm.
12. The plug component according to claim 11 , wherein the width of the control unit lies between 120 mm and 180 mm.
13. The plug component according to claim 11 , wherein the width of the control unit is approximately 180 mm.
14. The plug component according to claim 1 , wherein said one or more compartments are arranged distributed over an entire width of said first sealing section.
15. The plug component according to claim 1 , wherein said contact pins are arranged in a plurality of rows.
16. The plug component according to claim 15 , wherein said contact pins are arranged in four rows.
17. The plug component according to claim 15 , wherein said contact pins are arranged in five rows.
18. The plug component according to claim 15 , wherein said contact pins are straight contact pins.
19. The plug component according to claim 15 , wherein said contact pins are curved contact pins.
20. The plug component according to claim 1 , in combination with the housing component, further comprising a sealing material disposed between the sealing sections of the housing component and said plurality of sealing sections of the plug component.
