  • Electrical device having a housing part and a cover part
    Patent number: 11582880
    Abstract: An electrical device includes a housing part and a cover part, the cover part being connected to the housing part, in particular with the aid of screws, the cover part in particular covering an opening of the housing part. A first circuit board is connected to the cover part, and an elastically preloaded sheet-metal part, in particular an elastically preloaded tab section of a sheet-metal part, presses at least one heat-generating component, in particular a controllable semiconductor switch, in the direction of the cover part, in particular for the purpose of dissipating heat from the heat-generating component into the environment via the cover part.
    Type: Grant

  • Drive system with an intermediate circuit busbar
    Patent number: 10790759
    Abstract: A drive system includes an intermediate circuit busbar, the intermediate circuit busbar having at least one first busbar adapter part on which two lug sections, i.e. in particular lug areas, are formed, which are set apart from each other, one of the two lug sections having a larger cross-section, in particular a larger line cross-section, in particular a line cross-section for carrying current, than the other one of the two lug sections.
