Abstract
A hybrid module is configured for arrangement in a torque path upstream from a transmission and downstream from an internal combustion engine. The hybrid module includes a hybrid drive unit including an electric motor including a rotor. The rotor includes a rotor carrier carrying magnets. The hybrid module also includes a torque converter including a clutch assembly formed by a front cover, a friction material and a piston. The piston is operable to selectively force the friction material into the front cover. The hybrid module also includes a connector non-rotatably fixing the rotor to the torque converter. The connector is formed as a single piece with the front cover and being received in the rotor carrier such that no portion of the connector protrudes from the front cover toward the piston.
