An electronic component having electrically conductive contacts and a printed circuit board enclosed by a sheathing made from a first plastic, and a method for manufacturing the electronic component. Such electronic components are used in oil pans of a transmission. The electrically conductive contacts are enclosed by a frame made from a second plastic. The first plastic is a duroplastic, and the second one is a thermoplastic. The thermoplastic does not represent a barrier to transmission oil. It is used for shaping the duroplastic, prepositioning the electrically conductive contacts, and preventing mechanical reworking of the duroplastic. No projections such as tabs or flash layers are created.
