The invention relates to an electrical clip connector for an electrical connection of a cable () to an electrical mating connector, in particular to an electrical connection device of a controller for an electric motor of a cooling fan, wherein the clip connector () has a holder section () and a fastening section (), and at least one electrical line () of the cable () can be provided in the holder section () in such a way that an electrical contact device () of the line () projects freely from said holder section, and the clip connector () can be fitted to the connection device by means of the fastening section (). The invention also relates to an electrical clip connection having an electrical clip connector () and an electrical mating connector, in particular an electrical connection device of an electrical/electronic device, wherein an electrical contact device (), in particular a flat plug sleeve () or a socket contact, of the clip connector () can be accommodated and is accommodated in the mating connector by way of a circumferential section in at least two steps in a successively more interlocking manner when the clip connection comprising the clip connector () and the mating connector is established. The invention also relates to a ready-to-use electrical cable (), in particular for electrically connecting a controller () to an electric motor () of a cooling fan, having an electrical clip connector () according to the invention.

The invention relates to a fan, particularly for cooling an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, having an attachment unit, an electric drive motor, and a fan wheel rotating about the fan axis, wherein the attachment unit has a frame, from which bars protrude that cross through an air opening, said bars carrying an attachment element serving to attach the drive motor. The invention proposes that each of the bars () have a cross-sectional contour, wherein at least one cross bar () extending laterally in the direction of the fan axis () is configured between end regions () of the bar () extending in the direction of the fan axis (), defining a bar width (b).

The motor of an automotive cooling fan system is attached to a housing by either bayonet mount, screw mount, or axial-snap features on both motor and housing, as well as a cradle structure on the housing.

A novel plug connector is intended to improve the capability of triggering a consumer. The plug connector has a plug which has three contact blades, of which a first contact blade is connected to a first cable connection by means of a first electrical lead element, a second contact blade is connected to a second cable connection by means of a second electrical lead element, and a third contact blade is connected to the second electrical lead element by means of a third electrical lead element and via electric components; one connection cable, leading to the consumer, is soldered to each of the two cable connections. The multi-pole plug connector is especially suitable for electrically connecting an electric controller to an electric motor.
