PCT No. PCT/DE97/02942 Sec. 371 Date May 5, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date May 5, 1999 PCT Filed Dec. 12, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/25799 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 18, 1998This invention concerns a device for producing an electrical plug-in connection between electrical or electronic components or sub-assemblies by means of the opening in a wall within a motor vehicle door. The wall defines a partition between a wet cell and a dry cell wherein the component part or subassembly is mechanically fixed in the wet cell by a housing of a component part holder and wherein a part of the holder forms an electrical plug-in connector that engages through a duct opening in the wall and seals the duct opening against dampness. To that effect, the components or sub-assemblies can be mechanically secured by at least one component bracket in the vehicle door. According to the invention, at least one part of the component brackets of at least one of the components or sub-assemblies to be connected electrically is designed as an electrical plug-in connector which passes through the opening of the wall. The invention provides a connecting device which has a duct through a wall and is economical and easy to mount and service and at the same time has a long life.
