Abstract

A housing for electronic control units, in particular in motor vehicles, having a bottom section for attaching the electronic control units and having a cooling device that enables heat to be dissipated from the housing via a flowing liquid, a cooling device formed in the bottom section being provided both for improving the cooling capacity and for rigidity. The bottom section is easily manufactured with an integrated cooling channel by injection molding, while cooling is achievable by a medium available in the motor vehicle.
