Abstract
A stator of an electric machine has first and second hairpin winding terminals connected with a first electrical phase and extending axially away from end windings of the stator. A hairpin winding of a second electrical phase is located circumferentially between the first-phase terminals and spaces them from one another. A jumper has spaced-apart C-hooks oriented face-to-face relative to one another and wrapping around respective exposed ends of the first-phase hairpin winding terminals. The jumper forms a bridge spanning between the first-phase hairpin winding terminals and over the second-phase hairpin winding terminal. During manufacturing of the stator, the C-hooks are slid axially downward onto respective non-insulated ends of the first-phase stator hairpin winding terminals. The C-hooks abut against and are axially positioned relative to the first-phase terminals by ledges defined by insulative coatings that cover portions of the first-phase hairpin winding terminals.
