Patent number: 6437475Abstract: A slip ring assembly includes an insulator body with an rotor-facing first side and second, opposing side, and a pair of slip rings. The slip rings are formed to include respective coupling terminals that generally axially extend from the second side of the insulator body. The insulator body further includes a pair of through-bores that are parallel to but radially offset from a main axis of the insulator body, and are configured for routing the rotor winding leads from the rotor-facing side of the insulator body to the second, opposing side. The coupling terminals each comprise a pair of radially inwardly extending legs and a central, axially extending leg. The leads emerge from the through-bores, and are folded over the radially extending legs. The central, axially extending leg is then folded over the lead to mechanically secure the lead end, which is soldered to ensure electrical connectivity.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2000Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: Delphi Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Derrick S.
