Abstract
An electrical connecting means and overload protector mounting means for a motor stator comprises a housing having a plurality of terminal receiving cavities therein which receive the ends of the motor winding conductors. The cavities are dimensioned to receive electrical terminals of the type which have wire-receiving slots therein such that upon movement of the terminals into the cavities, the ends of the windings are electrically and mechanically connected to the terminals. The terminals are also connected to lead wires by means of which the control circuits to the motor are interconnected to the windings. The housing has integral supporting means for an overload protector, the arrangement being such that the protector is located adjacent to the motor windings. The electrical connections to the protector are also achieved by terminals which are inserted into cavities in the housing.
