  • Patent number: 7646612
    Abstract: The present invention concerns an electronic assembly with a heat sink in particular for a discharge lamp control module for a motor vehicle headlight. The electronic assembly with heat sink comprises essentially a printed circuit and a housing able to serve for thermal insulation and/or for electrical insulation and which comprises a heat sink. The heat sink is interposed between at least one face of the printed circuit and a face of the housing, the said heat sink extending over a major part of the face of the printed circuit and comprising an adhesive face for securing it to the printed circuit on the one hand and an adhesive face for securing it to the face of the housing on the other hand.

  • Patent number: 7465196
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a wiring harness end connector for an electronic module or an electronic card. It especially finds application in the case of connection of electronic modules contained in insulating cases, for example for vehicle headlights. An orientation component carried by the first connector or the second connector allows the wiring harness to leave in any orientation relative to the orientation of the connector.

  • Patent number: 7222990
    Abstract: A headlight apparatus has a lighting element with a connector base disposed in an aperture formed in the lighting element. The connector base has a set of terminals arranged to make contact with a set of electrical contact zones of a complementary module. Each electrical contact zone is so disposed, on a surface portion of an electronic printed circuit of the complementary module, as to be directly accessible for the corresponding terminal.

  • Patent number: 7172316
    Abstract: Lighting or indicating apparatus for a motor vehicle comprises in particular a light emitting element which includes a reflector, a light source, and a casing which defines a set of faces, comprising side, lower and upper faces. There is, optionally, at least one opening formed in at least one of the said faces and having removable obturating means. The lighting or indicating apparatus is adapted to be combined with at least one complementary module with the aid of at least one pair of assembly elements comprising a guiding slide and a projecting element. The projecting element is adapted to be inserted at least into one end of the guiding slide with which it is associated, and to slide in the said guiding slide. Each of the assembly elements of one pair of assembly elements is disposed either on the headlight element or on the module. The two assembly elements in one assembly pair are not both disposed on the light emitting element; nor are they both disposed on the module.

  • Patent number: 6916204
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a light device comprising in particular a complementary module receiving a set of signals via a first electrical connection, and a light element comprising at least one element generating electromagnetic interference, each element generating electromagnetic interference being supplied via a distinct complementary electrical connection, the first electrical connection and each complementary electrical connection being connected to a single connector. The connector comprises a first set of contact areas of the first electrical connection and at least one set of complementary contact areas, each set of complementary contact areas being intended to receive one of the complementary electrical connections, only the set of complementary contact areas being surrounded separately by an electromagnetic shielding element. The invention also relates to the motor vehicle equipped with such a light device.
