Abstract
An electro-hydraulic brake system comprises a master cylinder block in fluid communication with a reservoir tank containing a brake fluid. The master cylinder block defines a bore and primary and secondary openings. A protrusion extends outwardly from a rear surface of the master cylinder block. A pressure supply unit coupled to a front surface of the master cylinder block and in fluid communication with the reservoir tank for supplying the brake fluid from the reservoir tank. A master cylinder electronic control unit couples to the rear surface and in an abutment relationship with the protrusion. At least one isolation valve disposed on the rear surface, spaced apart from the protrusion and received by the master cylinder electronic control unit, for regulating brake fluid flow from the master cylinder block to the wheel brakes.
