The present invention relates to an electric auxiliary heating device (1) for heating a flow of air passing through in particular a conduit of a ventilation, heating and/or air conditioning installation of a motor vehicle, the auxiliary heating device comprising a casing that houses at least one heating module, said casing comprising: ∘a heating compartment of which a first end (61) comprises an opening (600) and ∘a connection interface (8) comprising: .square-solid.a first plate (86) that is essentially planar and extends essentially parallel to the opening so as to cover said opening, and .square-solid.a sheath (88) that extends in projection from the first plate (86) opposite the heating compartment, .square-solid.slots (80) passing through the first plate (86) and opening inside the sheath (88), the connection interface (8) comprising, on its internal face (89) that is oriented toward the heating compartment, at least one insertion stub (85) of which at least one of the edges facing the slots (80) is chamfered.

The invention relates to a frame (3) for an electric heating device (1), comprising at least one housing (7) intended to receive a heating element (5), said housing being defined by a plurality of longitudinal walls (23, 25) forming an insertion path for a heating element, and said insertion path being defined longitudinally by a back wall extending opposite an opening through which the heating element can be inserted into the housing. According to the invention, at least one of the longitudinal walls comprises a displacement reducing element (10) projecting from the wall. The displacement reducing element (10) comprises a ramp (11) that slopes gradually into the housing, towards the opposite longitudinal wall, said displacement reducing element (10) being arranged such that the downstream end (14, 15) thereof extends at a distance from the back wall (21).

An electric heating device including a heater housing in which a partition separates a circulation chamber, through which a medium to be heated can flow, from a connection chamber in which electrical connections of a PTC heating element introduced into a recess of a heating rib projecting from the partition into the circulation chamber are exposed. The PTC heating element has at least one PTC element and strip conductors lying against it at both sides, of which at least one strip conductor is covered by an electrical insulation layer. To create an electric heating device which permits a delivery of heat of the PTC heating element to the environment in an improved way, the heating rib is formed by a heating rib frame which comprises at least one window in which the insulation layer is exposed.

The invention relates to a heating device for heating the interior of a motor vehicle, comprising a plurality of heating modules arranged in at least one heating unit, each heating module comprising at least one heating resistor, at least one heat exchanger configured for delivering heat generated by the heating resistor to an airflow, and a rectangular frame surrounding the at least one heating resistor and the at least one heat exchanger, each frame having openings in opposed frame legs, wherein in the at least one heating unit the frame legs, comprising openings, of adjacent heating modules face one another and electrical connection elements reaching through the openings electrically connect the heating modules to one another.
