  • Patent number: 10951086
    Abstract: An electric device comprises an internal wiring and a housing. The housing includes a base and a cover. The base has a wiring guide member and a terminal area in which the internal wiring is connected to an outside electric conductor. The cover has a trough section into which the terminal area at least partly extends. The trough section has a trough wall which abuts the base to form a sealing surface. The wiring guide member supports the internal wiring at a position spaced apart from the sealing surface and opposite the trough wall and the internal wiring extends over the trough wall and into the trough section to the terminal area.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9270148
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a coil form (100) for mounting on a magnet core (118) for a rotating electrical machine or a resolver and to a corresponding magnet core. The present invention further relates to a magneto-electric angle sensor, in particular a reluctance resolver, the stator of which is constructed by the principles according to the invention. The coil form has a winding form (102) for applying a winding, the winding form (102) comprising a recess (124) for receiving a tooth (116) of the magnet core (118), at least one holding rib (114) being integrally formed and in cooperation with a holding structure (120) of the magnet core (118) fixing the coil form to the tooth. The magnet core comprises a plurality of lamellae (136) manufactured from sheet metal, which are layered on top of one another in a plane-parallel manner and interconnected, every two lamellae which lie on top of one another being rotated through an offset angle relative to one another to form the holding structure (120).
