Abstract

An integrated motor vehicle control unit has a metallic base plate and a housing lid which is coupled thereto in an oil-tight fashion. A flexible printed circuit board makes contact with an electronic circuit of the control unit, extends on the base plate and is led out of the control unit between the housing lid and the base plate. A printed circuit board carrier structure continues the base plate in a planar fashion and permits the position of the flexible printed circuit board outside the control unit to be selectively influenced.
