Abstract

A control apparatus has a housing and a first integral, multilayer printed circuit board with first, second and third parts. The first part carries electric and/or electronic components, the second part is electrically and mechanically connected to a contact pin of a first plug-in connector, and the third part connects the first and the second parts. A second integral, multilayer printed circuit board has first, second and third parts. The first part is equipped with electric and/or electronic components, the second part is electrically and mechanically connected to a contact pin of a second plug-in connector, and the third part connects the first and second parts. The two printed circuit boards in their third part are flexible or at least bendable. A connection element interconnects the first parts of the printed circuit boards.
