Abstract
The housing for an electronic circuit provided with a connection plug, particularly for control device electronics of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, includes a cooling frame to which a printed circuit board having the electronic circuit is fastened and which has at least one cooling portion with which power components connected to the printed circuit board are connected so as to conduct heat, and also includes a cover enclosing the printed circuit board. For a simple construction, it is suggested that the cooling frame (5) be constructed as a flat frame (6) with flat frame legs (8, 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d) substantially parallel to the plane (7) of the printed circuit board (3), the housing cover pieces (12, 13) forming the cover (11) being arranged at the upper and lower sides (9, 10) of the flat frame (6).
