Abstract

An electrical connection system for alternating current rectifiers, particularly for use in alternating-current bridge-type rectifiers for motor vehicle generators, in which a portion of an electrical conductor embedded in a circuit board is cooled to a lesser extent than the remainder of the electrical conductor. The lesser cooled portion may have a smaller cross-sectional area than do the remaining portions of the electrical conductor. In the case of an overload on the connection system, the lesser cooled and/or smaller cross-section portion melts through.
