Abstract
A module, particularly an electronic module of a commercial vehicle, includes at least one plug connection, having a plug element and a mating plug element, by which an electrical connection can be established when plugged together. At least one of the plug elements is mounted floatingly or movably within a clearance. A method for assembling the module plugs together the plug elements, at least one of the plug elements moving within a clearance relative to the mounting thereof.
Claims15
An electronic module of a commercial vehicle, comprising:
- at least one plug connection comprising a plug element and a mating plug element, by which an electrical connection is made in a plugged-together state of the plug element and the mating plug element;
- and
- wherein at least one of the plug element and mating plug element comprises a floating or moving mount of said at least one of the plug element and the mating plug element within a clearance;
- and
- wherein the plug connection is a flat plug connection;
- wherein spring elements are arranged at two farthest end sections of the mounted flat plug connection in a plane perpendicular to a plugging direction;
- and
- wherein the spring elements prestress the plug element in the plugging direction against the mating plug element.
A method for mounting an electronic module of a commercial vehicle, the module having at least one flat plug connection including a plug element and a mating plug element, the method comprising the acts of:
- arranging spring elements at the two farthest end sections of the plug element in a plane perpendicular to a plugging direction, wherein the spring elements prestress the plug element in the plugging direction against the mating plug element;
- plugging together the plug element and the mating plug element to establish an electrical connection;
- and
- wherein at least one of the plug element and the mating plug element moves within a clearance with respect to its mount during the plugging together of the plug element and the mating plug element to establish the electrical connection.
