Electric control units are known having a printed circuit board substrate 2 on which an electronic circuit 9 is situated which includes multiple electrical components 11 which are interconnected via printed conductors 12 of the printed circuit board substrate, housing parts 3, 4 for covering the electrical components on the printed circuit board substrate and at least one device plug connector part 6 which is electrically connected to the components and situated on the printed circuit board substrate outside the section of the printed circuit board substrate 2 covered by the housing parts 3, 4, the electrical connections between the components and the device plug connector part being established via printed conductors 14 of the printed circuit board substrate. It is proposed that, outside the section covered by the at least one housing part 3, 4 and outside the section of the printed circuit board substrate 2 provided with the device plug connector part 6, at least one contact point 21, 22 for an additional electrical component 7, 8 is situated on the printed circuit board substrate 2.
