  • Patent number: 9899754
    Abstract: An electric motor, in particular a radiator fan motor of a motor vehicle, has a stator which is fitted with a rotating-field winding, and a rotor which is mounted such that it can rotate in relation to the stator. A converter electronics system is provided, wherein a number of contact elements for insulation-free or enamel-insulated connection contacts of at least one component of the converter electronics system and/or for enamel-insulated winding ends of the rotating-field winding are mounted on a printed circuit board. The contact elements are in the form of clamping contacts or insulation-displacement terminal contacts.

  • Publication number: 20130307661
    Abstract: A protective device for control electronics of a motor vehicle component, such as a radiator fan drive, has a thermal protection element between the control electronics and a connecting lead frame. The thermal protection element trips when the temperature in the control electronics rises above a threshold temperature value. The thermal protection element has two conductor segments with conductor ends facing each other and forming an interruption point and one connecting end each. The interruption point is bridged by a fluxing agent, the fusion temperature of which is matched to the threshold temperature value. One of the connecting ends of the thermal protection element is connected to a contact of the connecting lead frame and the other connecting end is connected to a contact of the control electronics.
