Abstract
The invention relates to an electronic device for a motor vehicle, for example a car radio, an onboard computer or a vehicle navigation device. According to the invention, a printed circuit board (5) is connected to a housing (1) of the device by predetermined breaking points (17). Actuating elements (8, 9) with operating parts (10, 11) are located on said printed circuit board, these operating parts protruding out from a front panel (2) of the housing (1). In the event that the operating parts (10, 11) are subjected to excessive forces, the predetermined breaking points (17) enable the printed circuit board (5) to detach from the housing (1) and move further into said housing (1), whereby the operating parts (10, 11) move into the housing (1) accordingly.
Claims7
An electronic device intended for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a printed circuit board with at least one control element attached thereto, and projecting from a front plate of the housing, wherein the printed circuit board, for retracting the control element into the device when a force acting on the control element is exceeded, is secured so as to be displaceable into an interior of the device.
