Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a temperature sensor with a thermocouple, which includes the following consecutive steps: a) manufacturing a cable with mineral insulator (14) including two thermocouple wires (10, 12) extending along the entire length of the cable with mineral insulator and embedded in a mineral insulator (8); b) stripping one of the ends of the cable with mineral insulator over a length of 2 to 20 mm, preferably less than 15 mm, preferably less than 10 mm, such as to expose the ends of the thermocouple wires; c) connecting the ends (40, 42) of the thermocouple wires thus exposed, such as to constitute a thermocouple hot spot (13); and d) attaching a cap (20) to said cable with mineral insulator so as to protect said hot spot.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a device comprising:—a casing (10) comprising a side wall and a bottom (18) so as to define a cavity (12);—a resin (14) filling the cavity in such a way as to submerge the electronic component, leaving said sensitive element protruding.—an electronic component (32) comprising a sensor (34) provided with a sensitive element (36);—the electronic component resting on at least one pad (30) protruding from said side wall or from said bottom, so as to prevent air bubbles from forming in the resin, the pad being separated from the side wall (16) by a distance d greater than 1 mm or in contact with the side wall (16).

Abstract: A battery terminal lug (1) is disclosed, the lug being equipped with a shunt (7) for measuring the battery current and other battery characteristics. The lug includes a support (8), such as for a printed circuit, of at least one electronic component. The lug is made up of a first part (2), which is configured to be secured to a terminal of the battery, and a second part, which is configured to be secured to the cable of the battery (which is ordinarily directly associated with the terminal of the battery). The two parts (2, 3) of the terminal lug are electrically insulated from one another and are provided with projecting portions (28, 38) to bear the shunt (7), and a casing (5, 6) to accommodate the shunt (7) and the support (8), wherein electrical insulation (4, 17) is positioned so as to intervene between the two parts (2, 3) of the terminal lug (1).

Abstract: An alternator for a vehicle comprises two pole pieces having interlaced poles (10) and magnets, the poles exhibiting grooves profiled along an axis (21) and accommodating the magnets, the profile completely preventing the magnets escaping from the grooves in a plane perpendicular to the axis (21). It has, for each magnet (20), a strip (24) interposed between one face (25, 27) of the magnet and at least one of the grooves (18), the strip (24) being produced from a material which is less hard than the magnet.

Abstract: The vehicle alternator comprises a rotor (2) having interleaved polar horns (18), at least one of the horns having, facing towards another one of the horns, a side face (20) formed with a profiled groove (22). The groove has one longitudinal end (30) which is blind in a longitudinal direction of the groove.

Abstract: The alternator for a vehicle includes two magnet wheels (6) comprising poles (10) in the form of interlaced claws and at least one magnet (20) interposed between the poles. Each magnet (20) comprises two parts fixed to one another by a layer (26) of material which is more flexible than the magnet.
