Abstract

The invention relates to a control device which has a housing with a housing base and a housing cover In the housing, a circuit board with electronic components has been arranged in the housing, which, furthermore, has a plug connection element with a connector housing. The connector housing has been arranged on the housing base, and in the housing base an opening has been arranged, which is covered by the connector housing and penetrated by connection elements of the plug connection element. A pressure compensation element has been arranged in the connector housing.

Claims (28)

1. A control device comprising:

a housing, the housing comprising:

a housing base; and

a housing cover selectively engageable with the housing base

a circuit board including electronic components, the circuit board arranged between the housing base and the housing cover in the housing;

a plug connection element selectively engageable with the housing base, the plug connection element including a connector housing; and

an opening located at a bottom portion of the housing base covered by the connector housing and through which connection elements of the plug connection element are penetrable; and

a pressure compensation element and a contact adjacent the pressure compensation element each positioned on a top portion of the connector housing for selective engagement with the bottom portion of the housing base via the opening in the bottom portion of the housing base when the plug connection element is selectively engaged with the housing base.

2. The control device according to claim 1 wherein the housing base consists of metal.

3. The control device according to claim 1 wherein the housing cover consists of plastic material.

4. The control device according to claim 1 wherein the housing cover consists of radome.

5. The control device according to claim 1 wherein the connector housing consists of plastic material.

6. The control device according to claim 1 wherein the connector housing is connected to the housing base.

7. The control device according to claim 1 wherein at least one of the connector housing and the housing base comprise a gasket receiver for receiving a gasket by means of which the connector housing is tightly mounted to the housing base.

8. The control device according to claim 7 wherein the gasket is designed in the form of an axial seal or radial seal.

9. The control device according to claim 1 wherein the pressure compensation element is designed in the form of an opening arranged in the connector housing and covered by a membrane.

10. The control device according to claim 1 wherein the membrane is connected to the connector housing by means of ultrasonic welding or gluing.

11. The control device according to claim 1 wherein the circuit board is arranged to be connected to the housing base.

12. The control device according to claim 1 wherein a sensor cover is tightly mounted to the housing base.

13. The control device according to claim 1 wherein the control device comprises a radar sensor.

14. A control device comprising:

a housing, the housing comprising:

a metal housing base; and

a housing cover selectively engageable with the housing base

a circuit board including electronic components, the circuit board arranged between the housing base and the housing cover in the housing;

a plug connection element selectively engageable with the housing base, the plug connection element including a plastic connector housing; and

an opening located at a bottom portion of the housing base covered by the connector housing and through which connection elements of the plug connection element are penetrable; and

a pressure compensation element positioned on a top portion of the connector housing for selective engagement with the bottom portion of the housing base when the plug connection element is selectively engaged with the housing base.
