Installation space-saving and safe control unit for the electrohydraulic actuation of motor vehicle assemblies

A control unit for electrohydraulic actuation of motor vehicle clutches, comprising:

• a main housing, and
• at least one valve unit configured to be inserted into the main housing, the at least one valve unit having:
• a metal valve housing configured for receiving an electrically actuated valve,
• a plug housing fastened to the metal valve housing and formed from a plastic material, and
• a first electrical contact disposed in the plug housing and configured to be electrically connected to the electrically actuated valve, and
• a clamping electrical contact, configured for electrically connecting the first electrical contact of the at least one valve unit to an actuating electronics system configured for operating the electrically actuated valve, connected to the main housing, and
• the plug housing forms a dielectric resistance between the clamping electrical contact and the metal valve housing, and
• the metal valve housing has a cylindrical outer side, and the plug housing extends in a plane tangential to the cylindrical outer side and substantially parallel to the clamping electrical contact.

A control unit for electrohydraulic actuation of motor vehicle clutches, comprising:

• a main housing, and
• at least one valve unit configured to be inserted into the main housing in a first direction, the at least one valve unit having:
• a metal valve housing configured for receiving an electrically actuated valve,
• a plug housing fixed to an end of the metal valve housing and formed from a plastic material, and
• two first electrical contacts secured to the plug housing and configured to be electrically connected to the electrically actuated valve, and
• a clamping electrical contact, configured for electrically connecting the first electrical contacts of the at least one valve unit to an actuating electronics system configured for operating the electrically actuated valve, connected to the main housing, and
• the plug housing forms a dielectric resistance between the metal valve housing and the two first electrical contacts, and
• the two first electrical contacts extend outside of the plug housing substantially perpendicular to the first direction of the at least one valve unit into the main housing.
