Abstract

The invention relates to a control device, especially a temperature control device, comprising a sensor, a setpoint sensor, an electronic or electromechanical switch, an electricity supply unit, a control electronics unit and a casing encompassing said components. Said control device (1) is constructed by MID technology and the electronic and/or electromechanical components which make up the control device (1) are supported by walls of sections (7, 8, 9, 10) inside the casing and/or supporting elements (2) connected thereto. Said control device (1) has connecting contacts (3, 3′) leading outwards. The electronic and/or electromechanical components are interconnected by means of strip conductors (16) located directly on the casing floor (15) and/or casing walls and/or interior casing sections (7, 8, 9, 10).
