Methods and apparatus for connecting stator coil leads.

摘要

Methods and apparatus are provided for connecting a lead wire extending from a coil portion wound on a pole of a stator core to one or more terminals mounted on the stator core, wherein the method includes the steps of: grasping a lead wire; disposing the lead wire adjacent at least a first terminal; partially and then fully engaging the lead wire with the terminal; repeating the steps of disposing and engaging the lead wire with later terminals, if any; and then cutting the lead wire. Apparatus is provided for performing the method steps for complex lead wire connection patterns.
