Abstract
An electronic unit for measuring operating parameters of a vehicle wheel, including an electronic module (1) and an inflation valve (2) comprising a body (6, 7) designed to extend through an orifice arranged in a wheel rim, and an assembly head (4) separated from the body by a shoulder forming a face for locking the inflation valve against the rim. The electronic module (1) includes an outer wall (13, 14) defining a lateral housing for the assembly head (4) of the inflation valve (2), delimited by a metal plate (11) made in one piece with the electronic module, for pressing of the locking face of the assembly head, and furnished with a notch for the body (6, 7) of the inflation valve to pass through.
