The invention proposes a supply and control unit for an alternator in a motor vehicle, of the type comprising a support plate (12) made from insulating material designed to be fixed to a fixed part of the alternator and a brush-holder (22), and of the type in which the support plate (12) bears on a first face (34) an integrated circuit (36) for regulating the voltage supplied by the alternator, the electric connection pins (42) of which extend through the material (18) of the support plate (12) in order to open into a housing (46) formed in the second face (18) of the support plate (12), and of the type comprising an electric connection circuit (50) which comprises connection lugs (56) in contact with the connection pins (42) of the integrated circuit (36), characterised in that the connection pins (42) of the integrated circuit (36) are disposed in a circle.
A self-locking wiring grommet that is inserted into a notch at an edge of a clamshell housing of an electrical device has a pair of resilient arms that flex toward each other as the grommet is inserted into the notch and then spring outwardly away from each other to engage with a perimeter flange at the edge of the housing to hold the grommet in the housing notch without the need for separate fasteners.
