Abstract
An assembled commutator has a segment support portion and a housing portion. The housing portion has housing members formed with axially extending 'T'-shaped recesses and transversely extending slots for receiving armature leads. Insulation displacing terminals are inserted in the 'T'-shaped recesses and formed with slots which cooperate with the transversely extending housing slots to grip and contact the armature leads. The terminals may also be formed with recesses for receiving armature leads after the terminals have been placed in the housing portion and during the winding of the rotor. The terminals are held in place by commutator segments and include recesses for receiving retainers located on the commutator segments. The commutator segments may also include a carbon portion which surrounds a copper connection strip for connecting the terminals to the carbon portion of the commutator segment.
