A battery bridge for an electronic device, preferably for an electronic implant, has an electrically conductive first contact element, an electrically conductive second contact element and an insulator. The first contact element and the second contact element comprise a weldable material. In a first state of the battery bridge, the first contact element is distanced from the second contact element via a predefined air gap and the first contact element is electrically insulated from the second contact element by the air gap and the insulator. The battery bridge is formed in such a way that it can be transferred, by welding the first contact element and the second contact element together, into a second state, in which the air gap between the first contact element and the second contact element is closed electrically conductively, at least in part. A method for activating such an electronic device is also disclosed.

An electronics assembly is provided herein. The electronics assembly includes an inverter storage unit provided in a housing. An electronics module supplies power to an electric motor. The electronics module is integrated with the inverter storage unit. One or more capacitors is disposed within the electronics module. A heating device is thermally coupled with and disposed externally of the one or more capacitors.

An explosion-proof apparatus includes a stopper having a hollow cylindrical shape that is open at a first side and closed at a second side, and configured to be combined with an electrolytic condenser to surround an explosion-proof face of the electrolytic condenser and a lateral side connected to the explosion-proof face, through the first side, and a holder provided on the stopper to support the stopper. The first side of the stopper is separated from the explosion-proof face of the electrolytic condenser, a lateral side of the stopper has a stepped structure in which a periphery of a first region connecting to the first side is larger than a periphery of a second region connecting to the second side, and the holder is mounted on the stopper to surround at least part of the periphery of the second region of the stopper.

A female electrical socket for receiving an electrical pin and for connection to a PCB is provided. The socket provides a body having a first end and a second end, each having an opening, wherein either opening is configured to receive a male electrical pin to form a connection with the female socket, and wherein the body has a central longitudinal axis. The socket further provides a plurality of contact fingers on the body, wherein a first end of each of the fingers is attached to the body and a second end of each of the fingers is radially directed inwards relative to the first end towards the central longitudinal axis to provide a retention force to engage with the electrical pin.
