A pressure control unit, especially for motor vehicle brake systems, comprising

• a valve block (10) which includes fluid passages (12), valves (14), and connections (30, 32, 34) for fluid operated devices,
• electromagnets (36) attached to the valve block (10) for actuating the valves (14),
• a hood (40) placed on the valve block (10) and covering the electromagnets (36),
• an external plug group (42) arranged at the hood (40) and including plugs (44) accessible from outside to connect to sensors and the like, and
• electrical connections between the electromagnets (36) and corresponding plugs (44) of the external plug group (42), characterized in that
• a second plug group (46) including plugs (48) is disposed within the hood (40), the plugs (48) of said second group being connected to the plugs (44) of the external plug group (42),
• a third plug group (50) including plugs (52) is disposed at the valve block (10), the plugs (52) of said third group being adapted to be connected to the plugs (48) of the second plug group (46) by donning of the hood (40),
• the electrical connections comprise a conductor arrangement (56) linking the electromagnets (36) with the plugs (52) of the third plug group (50), and
• a space (53) is provided inside the hood (40) to receive electronic components.
