  • Publication number: 20250211057
    Abstract: An electrical connection includes several busbars designed for connecting an inverter to an electrical machine, each busbar having two fixation holes. A support designed for supporting the busbars includes grooves designed for respectively receiving the busbars, and for each groove, two fixation pins projecting from a bottom of the groove, designed for being respectively received in the fixation holes of the busbar received in the groove and for being riveted to fix the busbars to the support. Each fixation hole is larger than the fixation pin received.

  • Patent number: 9326411
    Abstract: A connection device is provided connecting an electronic component that is arranged on a carrier to a housing part. The connection device has a first bush for receiving a first fastening unit which is used to fasten the connection device to the carrier and a second bush for receiving a second fastening unit for fastening the connection device to the housing part. The first bush is thermally insulated from the second bush. A controller has an electronic component which is arranged on the carrier and which is connected or can be connected to the housing part by use of such a connection device.

  • Patent number: 8526196
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for receiving, at least partially, an electric/electronic component in an internal housing area, in particular for commercial vehicles. A first housing component at least partially forms the internal housing area and a cover at least partially surrounds the internal housing area. The cover is designed such that at least one electrically conductive connecting element for electrically coupling the electric/electronic component to at least one additional electric/electronic component provided outside of the internal housing area is fixed by the cover. A method for assembling the apparatus is also provided.
