  • Patent number: 11081307
    Abstract: An electrical power supply disconnector for establishing or severing the connection between current conductors and a power supply circuit. The electrical power supply disconnector includes a housing including a central passage, the walls of which bear contact strips that are located facing one another along a contact axis, and a slider sliding through the central passage in the direction of a centre axis, and bearing at least a first electrically conductive bar, oriented along the contact axis, for electrically connecting at least one first low contact strip and one high contact strip when the slider is in a first position. A protection module including such a power supply disconnector.

  • Patent number: 8468691
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing an electronic module including a printed-circuit board, at least one first-type component and one second-type component is disclosed. The process involves placing solder on the board, putting the first-type component in a first position, heating the entire board to melt the solder, resulting in soldering of the first-type component, putting the second-type component in a second position such that the second-type component has leads bearing on the board via the solder, and heating the solder locally to melt the solder such that the second-type component is soldered by applying two electrodes on each lead of the second-type component and making an electrical current flow between the electrodes to heat each lead of the second-type component. Each of the two electrodes directly contacts each lead of the second-type component to make the current flow between the two electrodes via the corresponding lead of the second-type component.

  • Publication number: 20130148320
    Abstract: An electronic module includes a board with a printed circuit, at least one component of a first type soldered to the board, and at least one component of a second type. The component of the second type extends above the at least one component of the first type. The at least one component of the first type is placed at least partially between the at least one component of the second type and the board and the at least one component of the second type includes a plurality of pads soldered to the board.

  • Publication number: 20090217519
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an electronic module (2) comprising a printed circuit (4) board (3), at least one first type of component (5), and a second type of component (6), said method comprising the following steps: solder (8) is placed on the board; the first type of component is placed in position; the board is generally heated in order to melt the solder in such a way as to solder the first type of component; the second type of component is positioned in such a way that it has tongues (7) which are supported on the board by means of solder; and the solder is locally heated such that it melts in order to solder the second type of component. The invention also relates to a production line for implementing said method.
