Abstract

The invention relates to an electrical component ( 10 ), in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising an electrical part ( 14 ) and an electronic control device ( 16 ) which has a contact strip ( 18 ), wherein the control device ( 16 ) and the electrical part ( 14 ), at least in regions, are encapsulated by injection molding with a plastic ( 32 ) which mechanically connects the electrical part ( 14 ) and the control device ( 16 ) and forms a socket ( 21 ) around the contact strip ( 18 ). The invention also relates to a method of producing an electrical component of this kind.

Claims (25)

1 - 14 . (canceled)

15 . An electrical component for a motor vehicle, comprising:

an electrical part;

an electronic control device having a contact strip; and

an injection molding which forms a socket around the contact strip and at least partially encapsulates the control device and the electrical part to form a mechanical connection thereof, wherein the injection molding is plastic.

16 . The electrical component as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the contact strip is a metal contact comb.

17 . The electrical component as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the contact strip has a main body composed of a plastic.

18 . The electrical component as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the plastic completely encapsulates the electronic control device.

19 . The electrical component as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the electrical part is embodied as an electric motor,

20 . The electrical component as claimed in claim 19 , wherein the electrical part is an electric actuating motor for a motor vehicle.

21 . The electrical component as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the socket is a socket for a bus system.

22 . The electrical component as claimed in claim 21 , wherein, the bus is a CAN or LIN bus.

23 . The electrical component as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the plastic is a thermoset.

24 . A method for producing an electrical component comprising:

inserting into an injection molding die a contact strip, an electrical part and an electronic control device; and

injection molding with a plastic to at least partially encapsulate the control device and the electrical part which mechanically connects the electrical part to the electronic control device and forms a socket around the contact strip thereby preassembling a contact strip and an electrical part with an electronic control device.

25 . The method as claimed in claim 24 , wherein preassembling the contract strip further comprises electrically conductively connecting a metal contact comb to the electronic control device as the contact strip.

26 . The method as claimed in claim 24 , wherein partially encapsulating by injection molding further comprises the contact strip having a main body composed of a plastic before connection to the electronic control device.

27 . The method as claimed in claim 26 , wherein the plastic is a thermoplastic.

28 . The method as claimed in claim 24 , wherein the control device s encapsulated by injection molding such that the plastic completely encapsulates the control device.

29 . The method as claimed in claim 24 , wherein the electrical part is an electric motor for a motor vehicle.

30 . The method as claimed in claim 29 , wherein 5 the electrical part is an electric actuating motor.

31 . The method as claimed in claim 24 , wherein the socket is for a bus system.

32 . The method as claimed in claim 31 , wherein, the bus system is a CAN or LIN bus.

33 . The method as claimed in claim 24 , wherein a thermoset is used as the plastic.
