Electric lock actuator device

An electric lock actuator device (201) comprising an electric motor (204) and a displacement actuator element (264) displaceable with respect to a frame (202) of said device under the action of said motor (204), for locking and releasing a lock in a vehicle, including a specific electronic unit (27) for controlling said electric motor (204), said electronic unit (27) comprising a plurality of components (23, 25) connected to a printed circuit (271) and housed in a portion (220) of said frame (202) which is integral with a portion (207) of the frame (202) housing said electric motor (204), characterized in that said frame (202) has a pair of mutually facing grooves (229) formed therein and in that said printed circuit (271) has its lateral edges engaged within said facing grooves (229);

• wherein said portion (220) of the frame (202) housing said electronic unit (27) is laterally adjacent to said portion (207) of the frame housing said electric motor (204) and is separated therefrom by said printed circuit (271);
• and wherein said printed circuit (271) has a first face looking toward said portion (207) housing said electric motor (204), said first face carrying means (270) to determine variation of at least one electrical signal in dependence on at least one limit position of said displacement actuator element (264), and a second opposite face looking toward said portion (220) housing said electronic unit (27), said second opposite face carrying said components (23, 25).
