Date Apr. 18, 1991.The housing for an electronic circuit provided with a connection plug, particularly for control electronics of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, includes a frame, to which a printed circuit board having the electronic circuit is fastened, and a heat sink, the power components of the electronic circuit being positionally adjacent the heat sink so as to be able to transfer heat to the heat sink during operation of the electronic circuit board. The frame is constructed as an injection molded plastic frame (2) with a heat sink (14) including at least one built-in heat conducting crosspiece (13) having one end (15) and another end (17). The one end (15) has a component assembly surface (16) located in the housing interior and the other end (17) is constructed as a heat removing element (18) extending from the frame (2) toward the exterior (FIGS. 1 and 2). The power components are located next to the component assembly surface (16).
