An electrical machine has a nonmetallic housing having a stator band and an endplate, wherein the laminated stator core is in self-locked engagement with the housing. Another electrical machine has a unitary nonmetallic housing with an integral stator band and an integral endplate, wherein the laminated stator core is over-molded with the housing. Yet another electrical machine has a unitary nonmetallic housing with an integral stator band and an integral endplate, wherein the laminated stator core is in engagement with the stator band with an interference fit.

Electrical machine

A stator has a plurality of segments connected with connectors to define a core for the stator. Each of the segments comprises a plurality of laminations arranged side by side forming a lamination stack with axially opposite sides. The lamination stack has an end cap abutting an axial side of the lamination stack. The end cap has first and second posts extending axially therefrom. At least one of the posts defines a wire path for wire wound around the stack. Each of the connectors comprises a bridge portion. The bridge portion has openings dimensioned to receive the posts in a manner that the connector is removably attachable to the post of the end cap of a segment and the post of the end cap of an adjacent segment. The connector has an insulator portion projecting from the bridge portion. The insulator portion extends between adjacent segments.
