Abstract

An electronic circuit, comprising at least three circuit boards ( 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 ) fastened at a frame ( 1 ) and electrically connected via contact pins ( 7 ) arranged therein, and an electric connection ( 11 ), connected to a third of the circuit boards ( 2.1 ). The circuit shall show a low structural space and here be cost-effective in its production and assembly. The circuit boards ( 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 ) are arranged in levels parallel in reference to each other and are fastened at a predetermined mutual distance at the frame ( 1 ), with bases ( 4, 5, 6 ) being embodied at the faces of the frame ( 1 ), with the ends being parallel to the faces of at least two of the bases ( 4, 5, 6 ) in one level, arranged in groups, and with the embodiment of the frame ( 1 ) and the circuit boards ( 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 ) being adjusted to each other.

Claims (13)

1. An electronic circuit, comprising:

a single frame;

at least three circuit boards, fastened to the single frame and electrically connected via contact pins arranged therein and arranged in levels parallel in reference to each other and fastened at the frame at a predetermined mutual distance from one another;

and an electric connection connected to a third of the circuit boards;

the frame including a plurality of bases projecting from a first face of the frame, wherein at least a first group of at least two bases extends from the first face of the frame to a first level above the frame to connect to a middle of the three circuit boards, and at least a second group of at least two bases extends from the first face of the frame to a second level above the frame past the middle of the three circuit boards to connect to an upper of the three circuit boards, and wherein the first group of at least two bases are lower in height than the second group of at least two bases;

the frame also including at least a third group of at least two bases projecting from a second face of the frame opposite the first face of the frame to a third level below the first and second levels to connect to a lower of the three circuit boards.

2. A circuit according to claim 1 , wherein the contact pins are impressed contacts.

3. A circuit according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of LED is arranged on at least one of the circuit boards.

4. A circuit according to claim 1 , wherein at least one block is formed at the frame.

5. A circuit according to claim 2 , wherein a plurality of LED is arranged on at least one of the circuit boards.

6. A circuit according to claim 2 , wherein at least one block is formed at the frame.

7. A circuit according to claim 3 , wherein at least one block is formed at the frame.

8. A circuit according to claim 5 , wherein at least one block is formed at the frame.
