TERMINAL ASSEMBLY FOR AN ELECTRIC MACHINE

摘要

An alternator includes a housing, and a stator fixedly mounted relative to the housing. The stator includes a stator winding. The stator winding includes at least five stator leads extending from the stator in an arc that is less than about 90°. A terminal assembly is mounted to an outer surface of the housing and connected with the at least five stator leads. The terminal assembly includes a body formed from a non-electrically conductive material, and a plurality of conductive members at least partially covered by the body. The plurality of conductive members is associated with the stator winding. Each of the plurality of conductive members includes plurality of input connectors spread out along the body in an arc that is greater than 90°.
