Abstract

The invention concerns an actuator. In a common housing are a motor contained in a metallic casing and an electronic card adapted to control the motor. The casing is electrically connected to a ground. This connection is made by a deformable element, whose deformation provides, by contact, the electrical connection between the casing and the ground.

Claims (9)

1. An actuator comprising, in a common housing:

a motor contained in a metallic casing configured to actuate a motor vehicle headlight reflector;

an electronic control card for the motor, the electronic control card comprising at least one ground and a connector adapted to provide a control connection with the motor; and

a deformable element fixed to the ground of the electronic control card, the deformable element comprising at least one connection contact with a spring sliding in a stud,

wherein deformation of the deformable element provides by contact an electrical ground connection between an exterior surface of the casing of the motor and the ground of the electronic control card separate from the control connection of the motor.

2. An actuator according to claim 1 , wherein said grounding is affected by at least one other element.

3. An actuator according to claim 2 , wherein the deformable element is fixed to a grounding track of the electronic control card.

4. An actuator according to claim 1 , wherein the deformable element is fixed to a grounding track of the electronic control card.

5. An actuator according to claim 1 , wherein the deformable element is disposed between the electronic control card and the motor.
