Abstract

A control device for a motor vehicle includes a housing having a housing cover and a housing base, a sealing device between the housing cover and the housing base, at least one circuit carrier having electrically conductive tracks, and at least one electronic component disposed on the circuit carrier. The control device further includes at least one conductor structure extending out of the interior of the housing, and at least one electrically conductive connecting line which connects the electronic component to the conductor structure. A getter layer is thermally sprayed on the inner face of the housing to protect the metal parts, which transmit current or data in the interior of the control device, against corrosive gases. The getter layer has a high specific surface area.
