Plastic housing be certain to accommodate an integrated circuit

The invention is based on a plastic housing the genre of the main claim.

Such plastic housings are generally "known, in particular through their use "in small electronic devices. These small electronic devices are found "For example in the electrical system of a motor vehicle as a control, regulating" or Switching device. Both The devices mentioned can often increase their functionality by adding one or a few circuit elements can be improved, but this is not always possible in series production by supplementing, because there is not enough space or the assembly of this or these circuit elements turns out to be inefficient.

The object of the invention is to supplement one or more circuit elements in a simple manner in series production Way without having to do this within or

outside the housing additional space "claimed will.

The problem just mentioned is achieved by applying the characterizing measures of the main claim.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and in the following description explained in more detail.

C. The small electronic device shown in perspective in the drawing has a housing 1 which can be covered by a cover 2. The housing 1 and the cover 2 are injection-molded from a plastic which, in the preferred case, is polybutylene terephthalate. In the housing there is at least one integrated circuit 3, which can be recognized by the cover 2 shown partially in section. During the production of the housing 1, connecting bodies k projecting outwards are also embedded through the housing wall. To improve the functionality, a circuit formed by a resistor in the example

( Element 5 is required, which is mechanically and electrically connected to at least two of the connecting bodies k in order to be able to essentially maintain the previous manner of manufacture and assembly and which is also cast into the housing wall during the manufacture of the housing 1 The mechanical connection of the switching element 5 to the connection bodies U is expediently effected by a soldering or welding point 6.

To accommodate an integrated circuit te correct plastic housing

Summary

A plastic housing (1) is proposed which is intended to accommodate an integrated circuit (3). The plastic housing (1) is manufactured with the embedding of connection bodies (h) in an injection molding process. At least one switching element (5) is mechanically and electrically connected to at least two of the connection bodies (k ) to subsequently improve the function of the integrated circuit and is also embedded in the housing wall during the manufacture of the housing (1).

Claims (2)

Robert Bosch GmbH ,, Stuttgart 9/17/1981 Li / Kc (new) claims 1. Certain to accommodate an integrated circuit Plastic housing made by injection molding by
and / the housing edge has external connector bodies, characterized in that at least one electrical switching element (5 ) is mechanically and electrically connected to at least two of the connecting bodies (k) and the housing wall is used for embedding this switching element (5). 2. Plastic housing according to claim 1, characterized in that the switching element (5) is connected to the connecting bodies (k) by soldering or welding points (6).
