<p>The lead wires (15a) of each of armature windings (15) inserted into the respective slots of an armature core and wound on the core are bent and connected to the respective segments of a commutator by means of an ultrasonic welding process. Since the armature windings (15) are so connected to the respective segments in the bent state by the ultrasonic welding process that the bent portion thereof has a longer radius of curvature (R) than the product of the sectional diameter or thickness (d) of the winding times approximately 1.5, the process can prevent the winding from damage due to the bending fatigue of the winding to be adapted for the connection of the armature windings to the respective segments of the commutator in a rotary electric machine such as a starter motor or the like. </p> |
