Abstract

A container (1) for an auto-control possesses a bottom (2) carrying a printed circuit (3), to which connecting blocks (8) are fastened. The bottom (2) extends between two flank walls (34). The other two walls of the container (1) are latticed and consist of slides (11) intended for guiding the input/output cards towards the blocks (8). The bottom (2) also incorporates an inner wall (13) interposed between the circuit (3) and the interior of the container. The blocks (8) are laid against the periphery of apertures (14) and are accessible via these from the interior of the container (1). Each slide (11) carries a stud (31) engaged in a perforation (24) in one of the blocks (8). Adjacent the wall (13), the slides (11) have a certain play (J) between them. At their other end, they abut against one another. The invention is used to allow the slides to follow, for example, movements of thermal origin experienced by the circuit (3), without however fastening the slides to the latter.
