A heating element for a vehicle exhaust gas purification device is provided and is to be disposed in an exhaust gas duct. The heating element extends around a central axis. and comprises a central support defined around the central axis, a heating grid extending radially around the central support, and a liaison element. The liaison element comprises a plurality of mounting brackets comprising at least a first part connecting the mounting brackets to the heating grid, at least a second part connecting the bracket to the duct, intended to be directly or indirectly attached to the duct, and at least one intermediate section connecting the first connecting part to the second connecting part. The connecting element is at least partially radially flexible.

Heating element for an exhaust gas purification device

An exhaust gas purification device comprises a first heating element made from an electrically conductive material, a second heating element made from an electrically conductive material, and a power supply configured to circulate an electric current in the first heating element and in the second heating element. The power supply comprises a first electrode electrically connected to the first heating element and a second electrode electrically connected to the second heating element. The heating device includes a substrate extending between the first heating element and the second heating element, and a connecting element electrically connecting the first heating element and the second heating element.
