A power converter, includes: a first terminal, a second terminal, a third terminal and a fourth terminal; stored-energy-source terminals, to which a stored energy source can be connected; four inverter bridge branches, which are formed from semiconductor switching devices, the inverter bridge branches each having a center tap, each center tap being assigned to one of the terminals, and the inverter bridge branches being interconnected and controllable such that electrical energy can be transferred bidirectionally between the stored-energy-source terminals and the first terminal, the second terminal, the third terminal and/or the fourth terminal; and a control unit, which is designed to control the semiconductor switching devices of the inverter bridge branches.

Power converter, charging post and vehicle

An electric device includes: a housing having a first electrically conductive housing wall; and a first circuit board which is arranged in the housing and which has an electrical conductor. The first electrically conductive housing wall can be electrically conductively connected to the electrical conductor of the first circuit board by use of a screw connection.

Electric device with printed circuit board

A DC/DC converter includes: a first connection pole and a second connection pole, wherein a first DC voltage is applied between the first connection pole and the second connection pole; a third connection pole and a fourth connection pole, wherein a second DC voltage is applied between the third connection pole and the fourth connection pole; a first commutation cell, wherein the first commutation cell has a capacitor, a diode and a semiconductor switch; a second commutation cell, wherein the second commutation cell has a capacitor, a diode and a semiconductor switch; and a precharging circuit for precharging the capacitor of the first commutation cell and the capacitor of the second commutation cell. The precharging circuit has a precharging resistor and an actuable switching device. The precharging resistor and the actuable switching device are connected in parallel. The capacitor of the first commutation cell, the precharging circuit and the capacitor of the second commutation cell are looped in series between the first connection pole and the second connection pole.

DC/DC converter and network feedback unit

A coil component includes a cup, a magnetic core, an electric conductor wound around the core, a cover, which closes the cup, and electric terminal contacts, which are in electric contact with ends of the electric conductor. The core and the electric conductor are arranged in the cup and the cup is filled with potting compound.

Coil component

An electrical controller includes a housing, wherein the housing has cooling air openings on two different housing sides. A heat sink is arranged inside the housing, in particular so as to be protected against contact, and forms a cooling air channel, wherein the cooling air channel runs between the cooling air openings of the different housing sides. An electrically insulating holding element is designed to mechanically fix the heat sink inside the housing in a manner electrically insulated from the housing. A number of components to be cooled are provided, wherein the components are thermally conductively coupled to the heat sink and are held by the heat sink.
