Abstract

The present invention relates to a throttle-valve housing having a continuous throttle opening for a throttle-valve which is arranged on a throttle-valve shaft, and a housing having a housing cover and a housing body. An electric drive and a first electronic mechanism for the drive are arranged in the housing, for displacing the throttle-valve shaft. The throttle-valve housing is especially non-complex in terms of production and assembly, and can be especially easily connected to other electronic mechanisms of the motor vehicle. To this end, the first electronic mechanism for the electric drive and the second electronic mechanism for appliances outside the housing are arranged in the cover of the housing. Both the first electronic mechanism of the electric drive for the throttle-valve shaft and the second electronic mechanism for the electrical appliances, can be brought into contact with the electrical appliances outside the housing by means of electrical connections which are at least partially arranged in the cover of the housing.
