Patent attributes
The invention relates to a hydrodynamic torque converter with a housing which comprises a wall which is on the driving side, where a connecting plate is fastened to the housing wall and comprises several mounting locations for connecting the hydrodynamic torque converter to a drive unit, the mounting locations being distributed over the circumference of the connecting plate and in the mounted state of the hydrodynamic torque converter being fastened at corresponding mounting locations of the drive unit. In order to provide a hydrodynamic torque converter which can be produced economically and has a long service lifetime, for each two mounting locations the connecting plate comprises, between them in the circumferential direction, a fastening area with which the connecting plate is fastened to the housing wall which is on the driving side.
