Abstract

An electrical device, for example, a converter, includes: a first circuit board, which includes first circuit traces and at least one plated-through hole, a second circuit board, which includes second circuit traces and at least one connection device, a power module, and a plug-connector part. The power module is placed on the first circuit board and is connected in an electrically conductive manner to the plated-through hole with the aid of the first circuit traces, the plug-connector part is placed on the second circuit board and is connected in an electrically conductive manner to the connection device with the aid of the second circuit traces, and the plated-through hole is connected in an electrically conductive manner with the aid of a cable to the connection device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electrical device, comprising:
a first circuit board including first circuit traces and at least one plated-through hole;
a second circuit board including second circuit traces and at least one connection device;
a power module;
a plug-connector part; and
an additional power module and an additional plug-connector part provided on the first circuit board;
wherein the power module is arranged on the first circuit board and is connected in an electrically conductive manner to the plated-through hole by the first circuit traces;
wherein the plug-connector part is arranged on the second circuit board and is connected in an electrically conductive manner to the connection device by the second circuit traces;
the plated-through hole is connected in an electrically conductive manner to the connection device by a cable; and
wherein the first circuit board includes further circuit traces, the additional power module being connected by the further circuit traces to the additional plug-connector part.

2. The electrical device according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical device is arranged as a converter.

3. The electrical device according to claim 1 , wherein an end region of the cable is inserted into the plated-through hole and is solder-connected to the plated-through hole.

4. The electrical device according to claim 1 , wherein: (a) the connection device is arranged on the second circuit board; and/or (b) the second circuit board has a circuit board plane and the connection device projects from the second circuit board perpendicular to a normal direction of the circuit board plane.

5. The electrical device according to claim 4 , wherein a further end region of the cable is plugged onto the connection device.

6. The electrical device according to claim 1 , wherein: (a) the connection device includes a plated-through hole in the second circuit board; and/or (b) a further end region of the cable is inserted into the connection device and is solder-connected to the connection device.

7. The electrical device according to claim 1 , further comprising a single direct voltage intermediate circuit to which the power module and the additional power module are connected in an electrically conductive manner, and from which the power modules are supplied.

8. The electrical device according to claim 7 , wherein the direct voltage intermediate circuit includes a single capacitor.

9. The electrical device according to claim 1 , (a) further comprising at least one housing component including at least one recess, (b) the plug-connector part being at least partially guided through the recess, and/or (c) the additional plug-connector part being at least partially guided through the recess or through an additional recess.

10. The electrical device according to claim 9 , wherein the second circuit board is connected to the housing component in a reversible manner.

11. The electrical device according to claim 9 , further comprising a retaining part (a) arranged on the housing component, (b) connected to the housing component in a form-locking manner, and/or (c) connected to the housing component by rivets, and wherein the second circuit board is (a) reversibly connected to the retaining part and/or (b) reversibly connected to the retaining part by a screw part.

12. The electrical device according to claim 11 , wherein the second circuit board is connected to the housing component in an electrically conductive manner by the retaining part and the screw part.

13. The electrical device according to claim 9 , wherein the housing component includes recesses for ventilation and/or ventilation of the electrical device.

14. The electrical device according to claim 9 , wherein the housing component includes (a) a sheet metal part and/or (b) a stamped and bent sheet metal part, and wherein at least one ventilation recess is arranged as a cutout in the sheet metal part.

15. The electrical device according to claim 1 , wherein each power module is adapted to independently feed a respective electric motor.

16. The electrical device according to claim 1 , wherein the connector parts are adapted to connect to a mating connector part of an electric motor.
