Benefits of technology

The invention is an electronic module that allows components, such as sensors and actuators, to be placed in various positions on a cost-effective support plate. Components can be mounted using a surface-mount process, making them very cost-effective. The support plate has a connection element that is bent upward from the base area, allowing components to be placed at different distances from the base area. The connection element can be bent at an angle of up to 90 degrees to the base area. The component is preferably placed at the end of the connection element and is surrounded by a sealing compound for quick and simple attachment to a counter body. The electronic module also includes a base plate that provides stability and can be used for cooling. Overall, this invention provides a cost-effective solution for placing components in various positions on an electronic module.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, the components can be mounted in a normal surface-mount process (SMT process) and therefore very cost-effectively.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]An electronic module 1 pursuant to a first preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention is described below in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

[0018]As can especially be seen from FIG. 1, the electronic module 1 comprises a support plate 2, which is a printed circuit board in this exemplary embodiment. The support plate 2 has a base area 20 and a plurality of connection elements 21 (cf. FIG. 3), which are tilted upward from the base area 20 at an angle α of 90°. The printed circuit board is thereby an inexpensive, extensive printed circuit board and serves as a connection printed circuit board. The electronic module 1 further comprises electronic and / or electric components 3, which are sensors in this exemplary embodiment. The sensors are thereby in each case disposed in an end portion 21a of the connection elements 21.

[0019]The connection elements 21 can be produced by means of milling one side of the support plate, a recess 23 being formed in an edge region of the su...

Abstract

The invention relates to an electronic module, a support plate (2) having a base area (20) and at least one connection element (21). Said connection element (21) is a part of the base area (20) and is arranged at an angle (a) to the base area (20), in addition to at least one electronic component (3), in particular a sensor, which is arranged in the connection element (21).

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an electronic module, as, for example, a transmission controller for motor vehicles, as well as to a method for the production thereof.[0002]In the prior art, a plurality of sensors is required at multiple locations, for example, in transmission control systems in order to acquire different signals, as, e.g., temperature, pressure and rotational speed. Feed lines to said sensors consist, for example, of flex foils or cables and are connected to the transmission controller which typically comprises a small printed circuit board. As a result, a very large assembly outlay is incurred and the necessary connections between sensors and printed circuit board are relatively expensive. In addition, a large number of procedural steps, as, e.g., bonding, soldering, welding or adhesive bonding, are required. It would therefore be desirable to provide a cost effective electronic module which particularly can be used in transmissio...
