Abstract

The invention is based on a unit for a vehicle brake system, having a housing block into which magnet valves and optionally other components to be interconnected electrically are built in. The magnet valves are covered by a housing cap, which has externally accessible plug connectors for the magnet valves. To protect the plug connectors against splashing water and dirt when the unit is mounted near the wheel, at least one cover provided, which together with the housing cap forms cable leadthroughs for cables that are connected electrically to the plug connectors.
