MOTOR TERMINATION BOARD

摘要

A motor termination board is disclosed for facilitating interconnection of control components and power components in a Brushless DC motor. The motor termination board includes a first stamping having a plurality of conductive paths, where the first stamping includes a plurality of connection points for receiving leads from control components and a plurality of control terminals for connecting the motor termination board to an electronic control of the motor. A second stamping is positioned adjacent the first conductive stamping and also has a plurality of conductive paths, where the second stamping includes a plurality of connection points for receiving leads from windings of the motor and a plurality of power terminals for connecting the motor termination board to a power supply for the motor. A termination board housing is provided for encapsulating the conductive paths of the first and second stampings and includes a first socket around the control terminals and a second socket around the power terminals. The motor termination board further includes a plurality of switching devices connected to the first and second stampings, wherein the switching devices operate to open up the motor windings upon detection of an electrical short therein.
