Alternator stator lead and terminal insulator assembly

摘要

One possible embodiment could be a stator lead and terminal insulator assembly for use in an alternator comprising of a top plate having a top surface and a bottom surface that converge to further define both an outside edge and an inside edge, the outside edge meeting the inside edge; a flange that connects to the outside edge of the top plate; and a plurality of terminal apertures penetrating the top plate, each terminal aperture being capable of reversibly receiving a respective terminal from a lead connected to the windings of a multi-phase stator of the alternator.

1. A stator lead and terminal insulator assembly for use in a heavy-duty automotive alternator comprising:
(A) an axial end plate having a top surface and a bottom surface that converge to further define both an outside edge and an inside edge, the inside edge further defining one or more notches; (B) a flange that connects along the entire outside edge of the axial end plate; (C) a plurality of terminal apertures penetrating the axial end plate, each terminal aperture being capable of receiving a respective terminal from a lead connected to windings of a multi-phase stator of the alternator; wherein the stator lead and terminal insulator assembly as placed in a casing is fully contained within the casing in that the stator lead and terminal insulator assembly lacks the capacity to penetrate the casing, the axial end plate and flange are made from electrically non-conductive material that allows the lead to rest against the flange in a manner that prevents unwanted electrical contact of the lead with the casing, the one or more notches being capable of receiving one or more portions of an interior of the alternator.
