A collector box () is a component of a heat exchanger for a motor vehicle, with the heat exchanger including a heat exchange core with a plurality of heat exchange tubes (). The collector box () includes a fluid collector () with a flat bottom () to receive the ends of the tubes (). The fluid collector () has two lateral walls () extending from the flat bottom () and respectively forming a curve between the lateral walls () and the flat bottom () of a radius (R) of between 1.5 and 4 mm. The fluid collector () has a ratio between the burst strength and the height (h) of the collector box () that is greater than 10.
