A sealed compressor has an electric motor driving a compressor pump unit, and a shell enclosing the electric motor and compressor pump unit. An electrical connector with the shell supplies electrical power to the motor. A terminal housing is mounted to an outer surface of the shell, and a terminal plug is received within the terminal housing. The terminal plug has electric connections to connect into the electric connector within the shell. The housing includes a cover plate enclosing a chamber for the housing and which receives the terminal plug. A spring extends from the terminal plug, and reacts against a surface of the cover to bias the terminal plug to maintain the electric connection between the terminal plug and the electrical connector in the shell.

Secure connection terminal for hermetic compressor

A sealed compressor has an electric motor and a compressor pump unit to be driven by the electric motor. Power is supplied to the electric motor by a terminal plug received within a housing, which communicates electricity through an electric connection and into a shell housing the compressor. A cable is connected to the terminal plug at a location at least partially outwardly of the housing. The cable includes a ground wire and ground connector, which is connected to a ground pin associated with one of the housing and the shell. The cable has a head connected to connections associated with the housing. A shield extends over a ground connection between the cable and the ground pin. A cable and cable head as mentioned above are also disclosed and claimed.
