Abstract
The high cost of fabricating a rotating rectifier assembly may be reduced in a construction including first and second tubular, generally cylindrical housing sections (12), (14), of insulating material in end to end abutment. Each of the sections (12), (14), has an interior wall (28), (40) including an elongated, inverted T-shaped slot (60) with the slot (60) in one of the sections (12) being circumferentially spaced from the slot (60) and the other of the sections (14) by about 180 degrees. Elongated buses (70) are located in the widest part of each of the slots (60) and each includes plural packaged diode mounting apertures (72). Packaged diodes 74 have combination terminal/mounting posts (76) located in a corresponding aperture (72) and further include an opposite terminal (80) extending to the interior wall (28), (40) opposite the corresponding slot (60). Fasteners (78) within the slots (60) secure the combination terminal/mounting posts (76) to the corresponding bus (70) in electrical contact therewith.
