Abstract

An electronic control unit for a vehicle, including: a pressure-sensor-element (PSE); a housing having a pressure-guide by which the PSE has a pressure-medium applied to it under pressure; an evaluation-unit to generate a pressure-signal, dependent on the pressure detected by the pressure-sensor-element in the pressure-guide; and a circuit-carrier on which at least part of control-electronics of the control-unit is arranged; the pressure-signal of the evaluation-unit being put in the control-electronics, the pressure-guide making direct contact with the circuit-carrier and a sealing-element arranged in the contact-region between the pressure-guide and the circuit-carrier, the sealing-element sealing a region of the pressure-guide to which the pressure-medium is applied under pressure from the surroundings, the PSE being arranged directly on the circuit-carrier, such that the PSE is arranged in the region of the pressure-guide to which the pressure-medium is applied under pressure, and the evaluation-unit being electrically directly connected to the circuit-carrier.
