  • Patent number: 10026528
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electric contact arrangement (1) comprising: a housing (2) having a recess (3) that penetrates the housing (2) in an axial direction (7); a sleeve (4) which is inserted into the recess (3) and which has an axial sealing surface (8) inside the housing (2) and two projections (10) outside the housing (2) which run perpendicularly to the axial direction (7); a contact pin (5) which is fixed in the sleeve (4) and which extends through the sleeve (4); an attachment element (6) which is designed to lie on the housing (2) and to be slid under the projections (10); and wedge shaped surfaces (13) between the sleeve (4) and the attachment element (6) and/or between the housing (2) and the attachment element (6) such that the sealing surface (8) can be drawn against the housing (2) from the inside by means of sliding the attachment element (6) under the projections (10).

  • Patent number: 7755248
    Abstract: Proposed is an integrated drive element (110) which is particularly suitable for use in an automatic shift transmission of a motor vehicle. The integrated drive element (110) has at least one electric motor (112), with preferably precisely two electric motors (112) being provided which can be used for example for a dual-clutch transmission. Also provided is at least one electronic engine control unit (114) which is designed for controlling the functionality of the at least one electric motor (112). Said electronic engine control unit (114) in turn has a housing (116). The at least one electric motor (112) spatially directly adjoins the housing (116) and/or is at least partially integrated into the at least one housing (116).
