  • Publication number: 20240274957
    Abstract: A modular battery system includes a plurality of electrical storage cell modules having a cell housing and an adapter connection, and a modular unit having a base housing containing a battery management system for monitoring and controlling the charging and discharging of the plurality of electrical storage cell modules. A plurality of adapter connection points for reversibly receiving the adapter connections are adapted to the shape of the adapter connections. The adapter connection points and adapter connections have electrical contacts that correspond to one another. At least one interface is arranged on the base housing for electrically connecting the modular unit to a consumer and/or supplier system. Power electronics arranged in the base housing transmit electrical energy between the interface and the storage cell modules. The base housing has at least one opening for removing and/or introducing the plurality of storage cell modules in relation to the adapter connection points.

  • Publication number: 20160294079
    Abstract: An electric connector that is particularly suitable for connecting printed circuit boards, wherein the connector has several flat conductors that are spaced apart from each other and that are embedded in an electrically insulating material to form an insulation zone in which the flat conductors extend parallel to each other and at their ends each with an exposed portion project over the transverse edges of the insulation zone. Here, it is provided that each of the flat conductors, within the insulation zone, has at least one first portion that is arranged between two second portions, wherein the first portion has a smaller thickness than the second portions.
