HOUSING FOR A FUEL PUMP DRIVEN BY AN ELECTRIC MOTOR

摘要

The invention relates to a housing for a fuel pump (1) driven by an electric motor, notably for a device for delivering fuel. On the commutator side of the housing a connecting cap (5) for electrical contacts (3, 4) as well as pump inlets and/or outlets (6) are provided for. The connecting cap (5) is made of an electrically conductive plastic material and a connection to an earth potential can be established via an electrically conductive connection. The surface resistance of the connecting cap (5) is configured such that an electrostatic charge is discharged to the earth potential, a shield against electromagnetic radiation is provided and a set short-circuit current between the electric contacts (3, 4) located directly on the connecting cap (5) is not exceeded.
