Abstract
Apparatus and system for terminating the winding wires of a dynamoelectric machine (e.g., a fractional horsepower electric motor) is disclosed in which wires (referred to as magnet wires) constituting the coils of the windings of the dynamoelectric machine are terminated in an electrically insulative block fixedly secured to the core of the motor. The magnet wires from the windings of the motor are fitted into respective receptacles of the terminal block and magnet wire terminals are forceably inserted into the receptacles so as to make electrical contact with the magnet wires and so as to securely hold the magnet wires within the terminal block. Then, other electrical connections, such as lead wires with removable terminals thereon or other electrical devices, such as a thermal protector for the motor, may be inserted into the terminals received within the receptacles of the terminal block thus eliminating the necessity of lead wire-to-magnet wire junctions and facilitating the automated assembly of the motor and the electrical connection of the terminals of the starting switch for the electric motor to the windings of the motor.
