The invention relates to a connector guide for an inverter comprising at least two power modules (), namely at least a first power module and a second power module, the connector guide () comprising a substantially flat rigid body () in which orifices () are formed for the passage of control pins () for the power modules (), said orifices () being calibrated and positioned in such a way as to conform to the position and orientation of said control pins (). The body of the connector guide comprises a so-called intermediate portion () which is intended to be positioned between the first power module and the second power module, the intermediate portion () comprising a housing () suitable for accepting a temperature sensor (). The connector guide thus makes it possible to ensure that the power modules control pins are correctly positioned while at the same time also ensuring the positioning and retention of the temperature sensor.

Connectors guide for an inverter comprising a temperature sensor housing

The invention relates to an inverter comprising a casing, a circuit board (), a power module, a connector guide () which is configured to keep male connectors of the power module in a given orientation, and a busbar system () connected to the power module () and comprising a ferromagnetic element () that is suitable for interacting with a current sensor () that is rigidly connected to the circuit board (). The inverter () comprises two elongate centering elements such as centering fingers or pins () which extend in parallel and are arranged at a distance from one another, and are rigidly connected to a reference part of the inverter. In this instance, the two elongate centering elements pass through the circuit board (), the connector guide () and the busbar system (), with the casing () or part of the casing () forming the reference part. This ensures that the circuit board (), the connector guide () and the busbar system () are correctly aligned with one another.
