  • Patent number: 11254189
    Abstract: An electric heating device may heat an air flow through a duct of a ventilation, heating and/or air-conditioning installation of an automotive vehicle. The heating device may include at least one heating module that is contained in a heating body. The heating body may include a housing for controlling and supplying electrical power to the at least one heating module. The housing may include, in its interior, a printed circuit board from which a power supply connector and a control connector protrude. The housing may also include a power supply opening such that the power supply connector emerges from the housing and a control opening such that the control connector emerges from the housing. The housing may include a skirt that protrudes in parallel to the control connector on the periphery of the control opening. The skirt may be formed as a single part with the housing.
