An arrangement for electrical contacting of a current connector () with a circuit arrangement () is provided. The current connector () includes at least one contact spring wire () with an end contact (), which is configured for spring-loading, and the circuit arrangement () includes at least one contact point. The end contact () and the contact point each form a spring pressure contact, and the end contact () of the contact spring wire () is configured as a bracket with an outer contact surface and at least one cutting edge arranged proximate the contact surface, which is engaged with the contact point.

Arrangement for making electrical contact, and current connector

A spring clip for securing contact partners is presented, wherein the contact partners can be connected electrically and in a form fitting manner. The spring clip has a socket section with at least one guide lug for a form fitting connection to a first contact partner, a snap-fit section with at least one snap-fit hook that snaps into a second contact partner, and a bending section between the socket section and the snap-fit section. The bending section can be bent thereby, between a relaxed state and a tensioned state.

A connecting device may electrically connect an electric motor to an electronic switchgear unit. The connecting device may include a bus bar that has a first interface, a second interface, and a linear section therebetween, where the first interface is bowed in a direction at least partially transverse to a longitudinal direction of the linear section of the bus bar. The first interface may be configured to electrically connect to at least one line that conducts a drive current of the electric motor through a crimp connection, and the second interface may be configured to electrically connect to the electronic switchgear unit.

Connection device and method for electrically connecting an electric motor to an electronic switching unit, electronic switching unit, connection unit and device system with at least one connection device

A device for mechanical and electrical connection of line wires in a cable to line connectors in an electrical assembly for a motor vehicle, wherein each line wire of the cable is connected to one line connector of the electrical assembly in such a manner that a form-locking unit, comprising a contact stud and a contact socket, is mechanically attached to the respective line connector via the contact stud, and furthermore, the respective line wire is mechanically attached to the contact stud of the form-locking unit, specifically providing an electrical contact between the line wire, the contact socket, and the line connector.

A parking interlock arrangement for an automatic transmission of a vehicle which comprises a parking interlock gear () operatively connected to an output shaft and which can be locked by way of a locking pawl () in a shift position (P) of a notched disk (). The notched disk () is connected, in a rotationally fixed manner, to a selector shaft (). The locking pawl () can be actuated by way of a connecting rod (), and the connecting rod () is operatively connected to the notched disk () by way of a coupling device in order to limit the selecting torque to be applied to the selector shaft ().

Parking interlock arrangement for an automatic transmission

A hybrid vehicle transmission () which comprises a transmission input shaft (), which can be connected to a drive motor by a shift element (), and an electric machine () which can be operatively connected to the transmission input shaft in order to transmit torque. An additional shift element () is provided by which the electric machine () can be operatively connected to the transmission input shaft and can be disconnected from the transmission input shaft ().

Hybrid vehicle transmission

A transmission parking lock with a ramp () for pressing against an actuating element. The ramp () defines an actuation direction () in which the actuating element can be moved and the ramp () has a ramp gradient in the actuation direction (). The ramp gradient varies transversely with respect to the actuation direction () such that the load between a pawl () and of the actuating element can be reduced.

Parking lock for a transmission

A transmission parking lock and an actuating element () for the parking lock. The actuating element includes a pull rod () and a roller carrier () on which are arranged a first roller () for rolling on a first rolling surface on the pawl of the parking lock and a second roller () for rolling on a second rolling surface on a guide element, such that the roller carrier () can be moved along a predetermined path in the longitudinal direction of the pull rod (). The roller carrier () can move longitudinally on the pull rod ().

An arrangement for actuating at least one shift fork () in a transmission of a vehicle. The arrangement has at least one actuating device (), which is mounted on a shift rail (), that actuates the shift fork () to undergo an at least axially directed shifting movement such that either a one-directional spring deflection of a two-directional spring deflection of the shift fork () is provided, and such spring deflected action is provided by at least one bent spring ().

Arrangement for operating at least one shift fork in a transmission

A transmission shifting device () with a selector shaft (), a disk () connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the selector shaft (), in which a disk-side guide () is provided, and a fixed plate () arranged opposite the disk (), in which a plate-side guide () is formed. A moving control element () is provided for shifting a transmission, which extends into the disk-side and the plate-side guides (). The disk-side guide () extends in the radial direction of the disk (). A transmission shifting device () of this type is particularly compact and takes up only little structural space.
