Abstract

A connection device is provided connecting an electronic component that is arranged on a carrier to a housing part. The connection device has a first bush for receiving a first fastening unit which is used to fasten the connection device to the carrier and a second bush for receiving a second fastening unit for fastening the connection device to the housing part. The first bush is thermally insulated from the second bush. A controller has an electronic component which is arranged on the carrier and which is connected or can be connected to the housing part by use of such a connection device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A controller, comprising:
an electronic component;
a carrier on which the electronic component is arranged;
a connection device operatively configured to connect the electronic component arranged on the carrier to a housing part, the connection device comprising first and second bushes, the first bush receiving a first fastening unit configured to fasten the connection device to the carrier and the second bush receiving a second fastening unit configured to fasten the connection device to the housing part, wherein
the first bush is thermally insulated from the second bush,
the connection device comprises a frame in which the first and second bushes are received, and
the frame surrounds the electronic component on at least two sides of the electronic component.

2. The controller according to claim 1 , wherein the frame is a plastic frame.

3. The controller according to claim 2 , wherein the first bush and the second bush are operatively configured with a common receiving direction for receiving the first fastening unit and the second fastening unit, respectively.

4. The controller according to claim 3 , wherein the first bush and the second bush are arranged offset relative to one another.

5. The controller according to claim 1 , wherein along a direction between at least the first fastening unit and the second fastening unit, the carrier and the housing part are separated by a distance corresponding to a thickness of the frame.

6. A controller, comprising:
an electronic component;
a carrier on which the electronic component is arranged;
a connection device operatively configured to connect the electronic component arranged on the carrier to a housing part, the connection device comprising first and second bushes, the first bush receiving a first fastening unit configured to fasten the connection device to the carrier and the second bush receiving a second fastening unit configured to fasten the connection device to the housing part, wherein
the first bush is thermally insulated from the second bush,
the connection device comprises a frame in which the first and second bushes are received, and
the frame completely surrounds the electronic component.

7. The controller according to claim 6 , wherein the frame is a plastic frame.

8. The controller according to claim 7 , wherein the first bush and the second bush are operatively configured with a common receiving direction for receiving the first fastening unit and the second fastening unit, respectively.

9. The controller according to claim 8 , wherein the first bush and the second bush are arranged offset relative to one another.

10. The controller according to claim 6 , wherein along a direction between at least the first fastening unit and the second fastening unit, the carrier and the housing part are separated by a distance corresponding to a thickness of the frame.
