Abstract

To reduce the space of a control device having a power circuit and an electronic component, the power circuit including components to which higher currents are applied, in particular currents in the range of 5 A to 70 A, and the electronic component including a switching logic realized on a circuit board, the electrical connections between the components of the power circuit are realized by a single-layer pressed screen. Receptacles for the contact pins of the components are formed in the pressed screen. The receptacles are arranged and formed in such a way that the components are held in frictional engagement in the receptacles and are electrically contacted via the contact pins.
