Abstract: A telephone set is provided enabling seizure for originating and terminating calls of a telephone line connected thereto to be performed as well as release thereof, as the result both of a first command produced by a first switching entity actuated from the handset of the telephone set as well as via a second command produced by a second switching entity that is able to be actuated independently of the handset, switching entities producing the commands via individual communication establishment elements which are inserted in parallel in a loop which links, via the controlled power feeding arrangement, the output terminals of a first diode bridge, the input terminals of which are connected to the two line wires via a protection circuit, together with a second diode rectifying bridge, performing actual rectification, linked via capacitors to the output of the protection device, in parallel with the first diode bridge, and adapted to power a microprocessor and relevant circuits of telephone set circuitry, via a

Abstract: A device for dissipating heat for a surface mount component assembled onto a printed circuit board is made up by a metallic plate deposited on the rear of the substrate under the surface mount component. A thermal coupling device is made up by a small heat collecting plate provided on the front side of the substrate and the actual substrate. The heat collecting plate also performs an electro-magnetic shielding function and is advantageously constituted either by the shielding plate normally provided for this purpose or by an extension thereof.
