  • Flexible printed circuit board, in particular for connecting electrical and/or electronic components
    Patent number: 12604411
    Abstract: A flexible printed circuit board, in particular for connecting electrical and/or electronic components, includes a fuse conductor track (10). The fuse conductor track has a conductor width (B1) formed on the flexible printed circuit board (1). The fuse conductor track (10) has a taper (12) in a fuse area (11) of the fuse conductor track (10), at which the fuse conductor track (10) has a fuse width (B2) which is smaller than the conductor width (B1) of the fuse conductor track (10) outside the fuse area (11).

  • Inverter for an electric drivetrain, and method for operating an inverter
    Patent number: 12515530
    Abstract: An inverter (100) for an electric drivetrain (300), wherein the inverter (100) comprises an input port (102) for connecting an energy source (104) and a charging device (106) connected in parallel for charging the energy source (104), an output port (112) for connecting a multi-phase electric machine (114), and a plurality of switch elements (120Px, 120Nx) of a bridge circuit. The inverter (100) is configured to open the switch elements (120Px, 120Nx) while the energy source (104) is being charged by the charging device (106).
