Abstract
A printed circuit board having essentially a first region, a second region, and a third region. The first region and the third region can be used for the placement of electrical and/or electronic components. The second region located in the middle of the three regions is a bend region. A side edge of the printed circuit board is offset inward in this region in order to narrow the contour of the printed circuit board in the bend region. This region likewise has one or more through holes. Both the narrowing and the through holes facilitate a bending of the printed circuit board, namely a bending of the first region relative to the third region or vice versa.
Claims13
A printed circuit board comprising:
- a bend region that has a narrowing and at least one through hole;
- and
- a side edge set back inward for the narrowing of the printed circuit board in the bend region.

- a carrier;
- electrical and/or electronic components;
- an interface for connection to a vehicle electronic system;
- and
- a printed circuit board comprising a bend region that has a narrowing and at least one through hole, and a side edge set back inward for the narrowing of the printed circuit board in the bend region.
A door handle for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a sensor group for a keyless entry system, comprising:
- a carrier;
- electrical and/or electronic components;
