A connection arrangement includes a first plastic component, a second plastic component, and a closed induction ring. The first plastic component has a first joining region designed as a receptacle, and at one end, the second plastic component has a second joining region introduced into the first joining region. At the joining regions, the induction ring is at least partially fused into the two plastic components such that at one contact region between a first plastic melt of the first plastic component and a second plastic melt of the second plastic melt, a material-conclusive connection is generated. In this case, the induction ring is melted into the first plastic component while forming at least one first undercut, and is melted into the second plastic component while forming at least one second undercut such that between the plastic components and the induction ring, one each form-fitting connection is created.

Connection arrangement and method for welding a first plastic component to a second plastic component

A connecting arrangement includes a first plastic component, a second plastic component, and a closed induction ring that is arranged between the first and second plastic components in a joining gap that is partially filled with molten plastic. The first plastic component has a first joining region that is configured as a stepped receiving opening with a first joining contour. The second plastic component has a second joining region that is configured as a stepped shoulder with a second joining contour. The second joining region is inserted into the first joining region to form the joining gap. The first and second joining contours are adapted to one another so as to center the first joining region, the second joining region, and the induction ring in the joining gap with respect to one another. A method in one embodiment includes welding the first and second plastic components of the connecting arrangement.

A step-up converter and an ignition system including a step-up converter are provided, which enable a better automated manufacture and reduced electrical insulation measures by a step-up converter constructed as follows: a transformer including a primary coil and a secondary coil galvanically isolated from the primary coil, the secondary coil being wound in multiple layers, and the primary coil being wound coaxially to the secondary coil over an outermost layer of the secondary coil, a first electrical terminal of the secondary coil branching off from an innermost layer of the secondary coil. The first electrical terminal of the secondary coil is configured for electrical connection to a high-voltage terminal for the spark gap.

An imager module for a camera includes: at least one objective holder; an image sensor mounted on the objective holder; and an objective accommodated in a tube area of the objective holder. Multiple contact areas are formed between an outer surface of the objective and the cylindrical inner surface of the tube area of the objective holder by frictional engagement. For this purpose, a first clamping plane is formed in the tube area, and a second clamping plane is formed which is offset from the first clamping plane along a longitudinal axis of the tube area, multiple first contact areas being formed in the first clamping plane, and multiple second contact areas being formed in the second clamping plane and situated distributed around the longitudinal axis in a circumferential direction.

In an ignition coil having a high-voltage terminal and a spring for electrically connecting the high-voltage terminal to a spark plug, a contact segment of the spring, which is directed towards the spark plug, has an outer circumference that is reduced in comparison with an outer circumference of further segments of the spring. The spark plug has a contact region for contacting with the spring of the ignition coil, which contact region has a recess surrounded by a closed, annular wall region for receiving the contact segment of the spring of the ignition coil.

An ignition coil, in particular for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, has an inner magnet core which is concentrically enclosed by a primary coil and a secondary coil. The inner magnet coil is made up of sheet-metal strips stacked on top of each other, the sheet-metal strips forming a substantially rectangular or square cross-section surface of the inner magnet core. At least the lower and the upper sheet-metal strips, delimiting the inner magnet core, have, at least in partial areas, a reduced width viewed in the longitudinal direction compared to the other sheet-metal strips of the inner magnet core. This makes a primary bobbin and a secondary bobbin having an enlarged corner radius and a more uniform winding density of the primary coil and the secondary coil possible.

A magnetic circuit for an ignition coil or a transformer, including an inner, essentially rod-shaped core and an outer core. The outer core includes a strip-shaped element of thickness, length and width, and is situated around the inner core in such a way that the strip-shaped element is positioned at the faces of the inner core with its thickness perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the inner core.

Magnetic circuit for ignition coils or transformers

An electrical connection set-up for connecting thin enameled wires in ignition coils, which is to replace thermal methods, for example. This is achieved in that, to produce contacting between the winding and the respective high-voltage or low-voltage outlets, an individual contact element able to be slid over the winding by its one side and is fixed in place via its other side, the contact element having a spring-type design, a sliding surface, and at least on its one side fans out in a tulip-shape in the sliding direction, in such a way that the contact element presses against the winding in a spring-like manner in the mounted state and the insulation layer is ruptured and electrical contacting takes place.
