Module for controllers and brush holders and method of manfacturing it
First Claim
1. A module for an electronic circuit of chip or hybrid design, combined with a brush holder for electrical machines, comprising a housing component consisting of insulating material and having a collar with an opening;
- a brush holder with carbon brushes;
a controller circuit for said carbon brushes and having a contact component embedded in said housing component with the exception of contacting areas of said contact component which are free of the insulating material of said housing component while all remaining areas of said contact component are embedded in the insulating material of said housing component;
an electrically conductive bearing plate, said controller circuit being fixed as a controller circuit on said bearing plate at ground potential and surrounded by said collar of said housing component, said housing component being attached to said bearing plate and being connected to said contact areas, said contacting areas projecting into said opening of said collar;
a lid closing said opening of said collar; and
attachment means for attaching said bearing plate to said housing component in order to dissipate heat, said brush holder together with its contact components for terminals of said carbon brushes being formed of one piece with said housing component composed of insulating material.

Abstract
A module for an electronic circuit of chip or hybrid design, combined with a brush holder for generators in motor vehicles has connecting lines embedded between the electronic circuit, the carbon brushes and a plug-in terminal in a housing component made of insulating material. The circuit which is bonded or soldered to a bearing plate is surrounded, for the purpose of making contact with the contacting lines by a collar of the housing component which is closed by a lid. For good dissipation of heat and cost effective manufacture of this module, the bearing plate with the circuit is to be attached directly to the generator housing and the brush holder with its contact components for the brush terminals is also to be formed on in one piece to the housing component.
