  • Publication number: 20150206679
    Abstract: A voltage controller has an casing, with a plurality of electrical connecting terminals, and housing a signal processing circuit and a power circuit, facing one another and connected to these terminals. A thermally fusible safety device is fitted between the circuits, and is electrically connected between one of the terminals and the power circuit. The safety device has a strip of resiliently deformable and electrically conductive material and a plate-like positioning and support formation. The formation has a seat which forms an opening through which a first end of the strip is connected to the power circuit. A second end of the strip is connected to one of the terminals by a thermally fusible connection. The strip is coupled to the formation with a pre-loading arranged to break the connection of its second end.

  • Publication number: 20150070126
    Abstract: A thermal fuse device has an essentially annular frame made of electrically insulating material. First and second contact strips of electrically conductive material extend through opposite portions of the frame and have respective first ends extending inside the internal region of the frame, where they at least partially face each other, and respective second ends extending outside the frame for connection to an electrical or electronic circuit. The first end of the first contact strip is joined to the first end of the second contact strip by a quantity of heat-meltable material, in a condition where the first contact strip is resiliently pre-stressed so that, when the joint is broken, the first end of the first contact strip moves away from the first end of the second contact strip.

  • Patent number: 8953322
    Abstract: An electronic control unit for a motor of an electric fan, has a support casing including a metal body adapted to act as a heat dissipator, a shell of an electrically insulating material coupled with the metal body, and a circuit board, mounted in contact with the dissipator body. The circuit board has a conductive connection member in the form of a flexible metal blade, electrically connected to the dissipator body, to provide an earth connection for the circuit board. The blade has a portion that projects beyond the edge of the board. The insulating shell has an internal formation which, upon coupling the shell with the dissipator body, interacts with the projecting portion of the blade, deforming it so as to bring it and thereafter maintain it in contact with the dissipator body in a resiliently loaded manner.

  • Patent number: 8605449
    Abstract: An electronic control unit, has a casing accommodating a printed circuit board. The casing has a molded plastic intermediate structure having a frame. Two electrically conductive members are partially embedded in the intermediate structure during the course of molding and are connected to the printed circuit board forming output terminals of the control unit. Two flexible conductors, provided with corresponding electrically insulating coverings, connect the control unit to an apparatus to be controlled. Each conductor has an end permanently connected to a respective one of the conductive members and the connection between the conductors and the conductive members are covered and sealed in a fluid-tight way by an electrically insulating material.
