Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a ring-style terminal block for supporting electrical connections. The ring-style terminal block includes an annular component having a radially inward facing surface at least partially defined by a first radius, a radially outward facing surface at least partially defined by a second radius larger than the first radius, a top surface extending between the radially inward facing surface and the radially outward facing surface, and a bottom surface. The bottom surface extends between the radially inward facing surface and the radially outward facing surface. The bottom surface is opposite the top surface and separated from the top surface by a thickness. The terminal block also includes a plurality of terminals spaced apart circumferentially and formed integrally within the annular component.
