Abstract
An improved connector for the main field coil of a rotating electric machine having high start/stop cyclic duty capability. The connector is generally L-shaped with the field coil connection portion being parallel to the axis of the machine and the centrifugal forces of the start/stop cycles being applied perpendicular to the field coil connection portion. Enlarged connection portions integral with the L-shaped central region are configured for connection to the field coil and a terminal including a cylindrical post.
