Abstract
An electric machine includes a stator core, interconnected hairpin windings, and a terminal. The interconnected hairpin windings are arranged between an inner diameter and an outer diameter of the core. The interconnected hairpin windings are arranged to form a plurality of electrical phases. The terminal is configured to connect a first of the plurality of electrical phases of the hairpin windings to a power source. The terminal has a first plate that is connected to a first pair of hairpins that are disposed along the outer diameter of the core. The terminal has a second plate that is connected to a second pair of hairpins that are disposed along the inner diameter of the core. The terminal has a bridge plate that extends between and connects the first plate to the second plate.
