Abstract: A method for manufacturing an electrical component, comprising: an armature (1) formed by a polymeric plastic material and an organometallic additive and comprising a support arm (4), with a winding (2) formed directly on the surface of the support arm (4) by a conductor track (10) forming turns. According to the invention, in order to obtain a winding with a high density of turns, with a precise arrangement which varies little over time, while making it possible to have a winding design with any desired geometry, the manufacturing method comprises laser engraving of the support arm (4), for engraving an initiator track forming the turns of the winding (2) and where the organometallic additive is locally activated. The method then comprises metallizing the initiator track with a conducting metal so to form the conductor track (10) according to the turns formed by the initiator track.

Abstract: An arc extinguishing chamber includes an arc formation chamber containing a stationary contact and a movable contact which form an arc between them when separated. The arc formation chamber communicates with an inlet of a second chamber. A separating wall is placed in a volume downstream from said second chamber. The wall extends in the direction of the gas flow to partition the volume in the direction of the flow of the gases and exhaust outlets enabling the quenching gases to be removed outside of the apparatus. The separating wall(s) extend(s) in such a way as to partition in the direction of the flow to the outlets and to thereby form at least a first removal duct and a second removal duct, said ducts each being associated with an exhaust outlet and enabling a substantially complete separation to be achieved between a first flow and a second flow.
