## Abstract

The present invention relates to a braking system module, such as a coilbox, comprising a housing and a connector. The connector includes a connector body and contact elements defining a connection interface for electrically connecting the braking module with a plug connector. The present invention provides a braking module that is easy to produce and optimize in that the housing comprises an anchorage organ for mounting the connector to the housing.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

1-11. (canceled)

### Claim 12

Braking system module, such as a coilbox, comprising a housing and a connector with a connector body and contact elements defining a connection interface for electrically connecting the braking module with a plug connector, wherein the housing comprises an anchorage organ for mounting the connector to the housing.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The braking module according to claim 12, wherein the connector is mounted and optionally fixed at the anchorage organ of the housing.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The braking module according to claim 12, wherein the anchorage organ comprises a fitting that is adapted for coupling with a connection piece of the connector body.

### Claim 15 (depends on 12)

The braking module according to claim 12, comprising a joining element for fixing the mounted connector body with the anchorage organ.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The braking module according to claim 15, wherein the joining element is selected from at least one of a seam, a glue, and/or a fastener.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The braking module according to claim 16, wherein the joining element is a snap fit.

### Claim 18 (depends on 15)

The braking module according to claim 15, wherein the joining element is arranged at the anchorage organ and/or the connection piece.

### Claim 19 (depends on 18)

The braking module according to claim 18, wherein the anchorage organ comprises a latch forming a snap fit with the corresponding counter latch of the connector body.

### Claim 20 (depends on 12)

The braking module according to claim 12, further comprising a sealing element for sealing a junction between the anchorage organ and the connector body mounted thereto.

### Claim 21 (depends on 20)

The braking module according to claim 20, wherein the sealing element is selected from one of a washer, grommet, gasket, a seam and a potting compound.

### Claim 22 (depends on 20)

The braking module according to claim 20, wherein a sealing element is placed at the junction between the anchorage organ and the connector body.
