Abstract
A terminal block includes a housing having sidewalls defining a cavity. One of the sidewalls defines a hole opening into the cavity. A conductor is supported in the cavity and is configured to electrically connect with an inverter. A terminal lug extends through the hole. The terminal lug includes a body having a first end disposed in the cavity and attached to the conductor and a second end external to the cavity and configured to attach to a terminal lead of an electric machine. The terminal lug further includes a support integrally formed with the body and disposed between the first and second ends to be located within the hole. A sealing member is attached to the support and is in sealing engagement with the hole to prevent fluid from entering the cavity.
