A method for producing a modular electrical connector assembly for a control unit in a motor vehicle is provided. The connector assembly has a module carrier, as well as at least two connector modules which are disposed side-by-side on the module carrier. Each of the connector modules has a connector housing collar, as well as a plurality of contact elements which are disposed in a contact area within the connector housing collar. To produce the connector assembly, first of all, one of the connector modules is placed in an opening in the module carrier and is positioned precisely relative to the module carrier. The connector module is then pressed with the aid of a hold-down device, for example, against the module carrier retained in a holding device, for instance. In this state, the connector module is laser-welded to the module carrier in an attachment region with the aid of a laser beam. On one hand, the use of laser-welding technologies permits a reliably stable and fluid-tight, material-locking connection between the components, and on the other hand, an advantageous, space-saving placement of the attachment region laterally within the connector housing collar, accompanied at the same time by higher manufacturing precision and small manufacturing tolerances. |
