Abstract

In order to improve an intermediate plate for mounting between housing parts of a fluid-operated control unit, in particular a transmission unit, comprising a central unit of plate-shaped configuration and, on both sides of the central unit, a sealing system for sealing between the central unit and the housing part opposite thereto in each case, said sealing system comprising sealing elements arranged on the respective side of the central unit and extending around cutouts, in such a way that said intermediate plate allows complex fluid routing, it is proposed that the central unit comprise a fluid routing plate extending in a plate plane and having at least one fluid routing channel extending in the plate plane and comprise cover plates arranged on both sides of the fluid routing plate and having cutouts as accesses to the at least one fluid routing channel, that an intermediate sealing system sealing the at least one fluid routing channel be provided between the respective cover plate and the fluid routing plate and that the respective cover plate carry the respective sealing system for sealing between the central unit and the respective housing part.
