Electronic module for a fan of an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle

A fan for cooling an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle, with an electronic module to control the fan, characterized in that the electronic module (2) comprises at least one deformable element (12, 28, 68), which engages with a part (4) of the fan and holds the electronic module (2) in place on the fan, and at least one rigid projecting retaining element (24, 66), which can be inserted in a direction of insertion into a receptacle (26) or opening (38, 78) of a fan frame (4) before the deformable element (12, 28, 68) engages, wherein after the retaining element (24, 66) is inserted into the receptacle (26) or opening (38, 78), the electronic module (2) is movable with a single degree of freedom different from the direction of insertion in order to bring the deformable element (12, 28, 68) into engagement with the fan frame.

An electronic module for a fan of an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle characterized by at least one deformable element, which when deformed can engage with a fan frame in a detachable manner, wherein the deformable element is an elastically deformable snap-in hook (28), which can be inserted in a hook receptacle (32) with an undercut snap-in opening (30) of the fan frame, the snap-in hook being S-shaped in cross-section.
