Abstract

A control module, in particular for a control circuit in a motor vehicle, is configured in such a way that it can be produced economically. The control module has a two-part housing which includes a lower part and an upper part. The lower part is configured as a plate, having a connector member for a downstream device, which can be joined flat to a circuit board. The circuit board is populated on a front side with components which can be soldered with the reflow method to connector parts of the circuit board. The upper part, which is configured as a cover, has an opening to receive a plug connector, and can be snap-locked onto the plate. The control module is preferably used in automobile engineering.
