Rotating rectifier assembly and method of manufacturing

摘要

A rectifier assembly includes a cover (802) comprising a flange (810) having an annular channel (812) extending around an outer circumference of the flange (810), an annular bus bar (804), an insulator ring (806), and an outer housing (808) for receiving the insulator ring (806), the annular bus bar (806) and the outer housing (808). A snap ring (801) is positioned within the annular channel (812) of the outer circumference of the flange (810). An outer circumference of the snap ring (801) is located within a snap ring retention channel (854) located around an inner diameter of the outer housing (808) to retain the cover (802), the annular bus bar (804), and the insulator ring (806) within the outer housing (808).
