Abstract

A converter comprises a plurality of modules each having a heat-sink unit with a base-plate made of a good heat-conducting metal material, acting as a support for the electronic components, a pair of parallel flanges laterally fixed to the opposite edges of the base-plate, and a rear plate for connection of the draw-in contacts capable of cooperating with the studs of a fixed connecting base. Error prevention means, formed by pins and orifices prevent any module connection error. The draw-in contacts are achieved by tulip-fingers or grips capable of being housed in six holes of the connection plate. The assembly forms a rack which can be actuated by a handle.
