Abstract: An input/output connector is (1) intended to be
surface-mounted on a printed circuit
board PCB and comprises, among other things, an insulating
housing (2) on whose lateral parts are fixed two positioning
dogs (5) to be soldered to the PCB, contacts (3) to be
soldered to the PCB. Said connector (1) is noteworthy in
that it comprises an elastic means for holding of the snap-fit
type (52) to the PCB intended, when said connector is
placed on the PCB for surface-mounting, to hold the contacts
(3) pressing on said PCB, the surface-soldering thus being
carried out while each of said contacts (3) is in a position
such that it is contained in a plane of reference for the
coflatness of said contacts or lies in a predetermined
tolerance interval with respect to said plane of reference.
It also relates to the process for mounting said
input/output connector (1), which, in a noteworthy manner,
when said connector is presented so as to be jammed into a
housing (H) of the PCB provided for this purpose, uses the
bearing load exerted on said connector in the placement
phase during surface-mounting to bring about the automatic
snap-fitting of the connector to the PCB, the assembly thus
pressed together being surface-mounted on the PCB in the
exact desired plane.

Abstract: The method involves receiving a signal supplied by an inverter which defines m<n> states in the stator phase voltage vector. A feedback controller regulates the electromagnetic torque and the stator flux, sampling the values of these variables at regular sampling instants. A computer determines a succession of n states for the phase voltage vector to bring the electromagnetic torque and the stator flux closer to their set values. At each sampling instant, the remaining application time for the current state and the time for application of updated future states of the phase vector is determined. The computation is done asynchronously with the sampling instant, with the computer sending control signals to switch the current state to the following state.
