Abstract
The invention relates to a header tank (5) for a mechanically assembled heat exchanger, notably for a motor vehicle, said exchanger (1) comprising a mechanically assembled heat-exchange core bundle (3) and comprising at least one row of tubes (31) with two end tubes (31) one at each end of said at least one row, the tubes (31) respectively comprising an end (311) intended to open into an interior volume of the header tank (5). According to the invention, the header tank (5) comprises at least one end stop (55) configured to be positioned facing an internal surface of the end (311) of an associated end tube (31) and to collaborate with said internal surface in such a way as to prevent said tube (31) from moving in the direction of the interior volume of the header tank (5).
