Abstract
A commutator housing for a direct-current motor includes conductive tracks and two Lyre-shaped connectors each inserted in one of the conductive tracks. An overcurrent protection device is inserted in series in the conductive tracks, and electrical connection pins of the overcurrent protection device are fitted into and retained between rods of the Lyre-shaped connectors. The overcurrent protection device is attached to the commutator housing without soldering.
Claims10
A commutator housing for a direct-current motor comprising:
- conductive tracks providing electrical connection;
- a first Lyre-shaped connector and a second Lyre-shaped connector inserted in the conductive tracks;
- and
- an overcurrent protection device inserted in series in the conductive tracks and having a first electrical connection pin and a second electrical connection pin, wherein the first electrical connection pin is inserted into the first Lyre-shaped connector and the second electrical connection pin is inserted into the second Lyre-shaped connector.
A motor for an openable component of an automobile vehicle including a commutator housing for a direct-current motor, the motor comprising:
- conductive tracks providing electrical connection;
- a first Lyre-shaped connector and a second Lyre-shaped connector inserted in the conductive tracks;
- and
- an overcurrent protection device inserted in series in the conductive tracks and having a first electrical connection pin and a second electrical connection pin, wherein the first electrical connection pin is inserted into the first Lyre-shaped connector and the second electrical connection pin is inserted into the second Lyre-shaped connector.
A method for producing a commutator housing for a direct-current motor comprising the steps of:
- producing conductive tracks on a support, the conductive tracks providing an electrical connection;
- fitting at least one Lyre-shaped connector into at least one of the conductive tracks;
- and
- mounting an overcurrent protection device by inserting an electrical connection pin of the overcurrent protection device into the at least one Lyre-shaped connector.
