Abstract
In a method of assembling a stator, a casing of a terminal assembly is placed in seating relation with a circumferential surface of the stator and secured in such seating relation. Integral winding leads of the stator winding means are spanned across an outer circumferential portion of an end turn grouping of the stator winding means into engagement with electrical connector sections of terminals on the casing, and the integral winding leads are interconnected in direct terminating engagement with the electrical connector sections of the terminals, respectively. Windings carried by the stator have a pair of generally annular groupings of end turns with outer circumferential portions arranged adjacent the opposite end turn portions of the stator, and a set of integral leads of the windings extend from one of the end turn groupings beyond and in spanning relation with a part of the outer circumferential portion. A terminal assembly is disposed in seating relation on the circumferential surface of the stator and has a set of terminals with at least some of the terminals being connected in direct terminating engagement with the integral leads of the windings, respectively. A stator and methods of assembling a stator with a terminal assembly are also disclosed.
