An electric connecting structure is provided, which includes an outer casing, at least two electrical connection terminals, at least two cables, and an electronic component. At least part of each electrical connection terminal is fixed in the outer casing. Each of the at least two cables has an end connected to the corresponding electrical connection terminal. The electric connection structure further includes at least one cable holder molded onto the at least two cables and mounted in the outer casing. The electronic component is connected between the ends of the at least two cables. The electric connection structure can simplify the wiring operations and consequently reduce the time and costs required for the wiring operations.

Electric connecting structure and manufacturing method thereof

A flap device for a heat exchanger of a vehicle has a support structure in which is formed a passage. A shutter is fitted to the passage, pivotable about an operationally horizontal axis (X-X) nearer to a first end of the shutter, between a rest position in which it closes the passage and a operating position in which it opens the passage, thereby allowing a flow of air to pass in a predetermined direction through the passage. In use, the shutter pivots from the rest position towards the operating position under the effect of a flow of air which strikes it in this direction, and returns by gravity towards the rest position when the air flow ceases. A stop projection formed on the first end of the shutter strikes an abutment surface on the structure when the shutter reaches the rest position.

Flap device

A ventilation assembly for a heat exchanger of a motor vehicle, has plate-like support structure with a main flow opening. A ventilator, including an electric motor and a fan, is mounted in the main flow opening. A voltage regulating device is fixed to the support structure and connected to the electric motor. The voltage regulating device has a support casing and a heat dissipater connected to the support casing. The voltage regulating device is fixed to the support structure in the region of but outside of the main flow opening, with the support casing and the heat dissipater being disposed in planes which are at least approximately parallel with the axis of the fan and of the main flow opening.
