Abstract: A motor stator having a salient pole magnetic core on which are wound coils of conductive wire incorporating an annular printed circuit board having a plurality of terminals formed around the outer periphery of the board. The terminals are formed by radially extending conductive regions, each region having a V-shaped notch extending in from the periphery of the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board is secured directly to the projecting ends of the coils at one end of the core and the two wire ends of each coil are secured in adjacent notches.

Abstract: A stator assembly in which a stack of stator laminations form a stator core. The laminations are shaped to form a plurality of poles projecting radially inwardly with arcuate undercut slots between the poles. The laminations are held together by a plurality of molded tubular insulator members, each comprising male and female sections inserted from opposite directions into the slots and joining together telescopically within the slots. Each end of the tubular member sections have integral flanges which engage the ends of the poles between the slots. The tubular members are split lengthwise and compressed to insert them in the slots. Once inserted, the tubular members expand within the slots to grip the edges of the laminations and hold the stack together and in alignment. The stator coils extend through the tubular members within the slots, the members providing insulation between the coils and the core.

Abstract: A motor stator having a salient pole magnetic core on which are wound coils of conductive wire incorporating an annular printed circuit board having a plurality of radially projecting terminals. The printed circuit board is secured directly to the projecting ends of the coils at one end of the core and the two wire ends of each coil are secured to pairs of adjacent terminals on the board. External electrical leads are then threaded through the core between the coils with one end of the respective leads electrically joined to terminals on the board.
