  • Publication number: 20250074227
    Abstract: A converter includes an electrical conversion circuit having an input or output connector including two pins designed to receive the input voltage or to supply the output voltage and two flat auxiliary busbars. Each flat auxiliary busbar includes a first flat portion pressed and fixed against the positive pin and the negative pin, respectively, and a second flat portion, with these second flat portions being substantially parallel to each other with the first flat portion of the positive flat auxiliary busbar being pressed and fixed against a flat fixing portion of the positive pin, and the first flat portion of the negative flat auxiliary busbar being pressed and fixed against a flat fixing portion of the negative pin. Two positive and negative main busbars are connected to the electrical conversion circuit and respectively including flat portions respectively pressed and fixed against the second portions of the auxiliary busbars.

  • Publication number: 20250079978
    Abstract: A filter includes first, second and third conductors; a first capacitor connected between the first conductor and the third conductor; a second capacitor connected between the second conductor and the third conductor; and a third capacitor connected between the first conductor and the second conductor. A pin of the first capacitor is situated higher, in relation to a vertical axis along which a clamp of the second conductor projects upwards, than a pin of the second capacitor, such that an oblique axis along which a first clamp and a second clamp of the third conductor project in opposing directions and the vertical axis form an angle between them of less than 80°, preferably less than 70°, for example 65°.

  • Publication number: 20160161020
    Abstract: The invention relates to a valve comprising: at least three channels (2, 9, 11); a metering gate (12) pivotable in a first channel (2); a diverter gate (10) that can shut off a second (9) or third (11) channel; and an actuation device (15) common to the gates (10, 12), said actuation device (15) comprising at least one actuation wheel (16) for pivoting at least one of the gates (10, 12) and having at least a first configuration in which the metering gate (12) is in a reference position in which the diverter gate (10) does not shut off the second (9) or third (11) channel. The actuation device (15) is configured such that, while in the first configuration, the rotation of the actuation wheel (16) causes the metering gate (12) to pivot in a single direction of rotation from its reference position, independently of the direction of rotation of the actuation wheel.

  • Publication number: 20160138533
    Abstract: The invention relates to a valve comprising: at least three channels (2, 9, 11); a metering gate (12) pivotable in a first channel (2); a diverter gate (10) that can shut off a second (9) or third (11) channel; and an actuation device (15) for actuating the gates (10, 12), said actuation device (15) comprising an actuation wheel (16) for pivoting at least one of the gates (10, 12) and having at least a first configuration in which the metering gate (12) is in a reference position in which the diverter gate (10) does not shut off the second (9) or third (11) channel. The actuation device (15) is configured such that, while in the first configuration, the rotation of the actuation wheel (16) causes: the diverter gate to pivot substantially and the metering gate to pivot slightly; and, subsequently, the metering gate to pivot without the diverter gate pivoting.

  • Publication number: 20150275709
    Abstract: A valve (1), in particular for a combustion engine, comprising:—a body (2) in which the following are provided: a housing (8) in which at least one bearing is arranged, and a conduit (3) designed to be traversed by a fluid, and—a shutter (5) mounted pivoting in the body (2) by a pin (7) received with radial clearance in the bearing, the shutter (5) pivoting between:—an open position, and—a closed position in which it comes into contact with the body (2) via a first contact area of the shutter located on a first side of the pin (7) and via a second contact area of the shutter located on a second side of the pin (7) opposite said first side, the switching of the shutter (5) from the open position to the closed position being accompanied by a radial movement of the pin (7) in the bearing.
