Electronics module for a transmission control unit, and transmission control unit

A transmission control unit comprising:

• an electronics module comprising:
• a printed circuit board populated with a plurality of electronic components that are attached and electrically connect to at least one of an upper surface and a lower surface of the printed circuit board;
• a media-tight protective layer,
• wherein the media-tight protective layer covers one or more of the electronic components and connecting points between the one or more electronic components and the printed circuit board;
• and
• a cooling element on at least one side of the printed circuit board for cooling at least one of the electronic components,
• wherein the cooling element is connected to the printed circuit board and houses the electronic components that are to be cooled, and
• wherein the media-tight protective layer covers a transition region between the printed circuit board and the cooling element along the entire periphery of the cooling element;
• and
• a carrier plate,
• wherein the printed circuit board in the electronics module is placed on the carrier plate, and
• wherein the transmission control unit is designed to be surrounded by transmission fluid.
