Abstract: A power line (1) wherein a hollow elongated enclosure (4) houses a conducting line (27) and an elastically deformable strip element (60) which is normally in a rest position extending substantially undeformed along the whole of the enclosure when the line is not engaged by an electric vehicle. The strip element (60) interacts with a magnetic field generated by an electric vehicle (80) engaging the line, to attract a portion (60a) of the strip element (60) into a raised contact position in which an electric connection is established between the conducting line (27) and at least one power plate (34) outside the enclosure (4). The line also has a detecting device (52) for detecting the strip element (60) in the rest position and so determining non-engagement of the line.

Abstract: Plural modular elementary semiconductor power components are respectively contained within plural semiconductor chip regions of a same semiconductor slice. A metallic layer covers a first surface of the semiconductor slice and is commonly connected to anode electrodes of the plural elementary power components. Plural space apart quadrangular metallic layer regions respectively cover the plural semiconductor chip regions on a second surface of the semiconductor slice and are respectively connected to cathode electrodes of the plural elementary power components. Plural first metallic tracks are spaced apart from and surround the respective plural metallic layer regions on the second surface of the semiconductor slice. Each respective first metallic track is connected to a control electrode of the elementary power component contained within the semiconductor chip regions surrounded by the respective first metallic track.
