Enamelled wire connection for circuit boards

摘要

Disclosed is an arrangement for providing an electrical connection to the enamelled wire of a coil of an electrical motor. The arrangement includes a circuit board carrying at least one conductive component such as an electrical trace on the surface of the circuit board. A conductive pin-type contact, also carried by the circuit board, is electrically connected to the conductive component. An insulating body is carried by the electrical motor and includes passageways for receiving at least two pin-receiving receptacle terminals. The receptacle terminals have inwardly-extending rib members for engaging the enamelled wire when the enamelled wire and the pin-type contact are inserted therein. The rib members are operative to penetrate the enamel covering to establish electrical contact with the wire.
