Abstract: A connector for a printed circuit, the connector includes: a pin which extends longitudinally along a main axis; and a connector head which is attached to one end of the pin and extends in a plane perpendicular to the main axis of the pin. The head includes at least three tabs which each extend along a secondary longitudinal axis parallel to the main axis of the pin. The tabs all extend from a single side of the connector head such that the tabs, as well as the pin, are configured to pass through the printed circuit. The connector is made of a metal so as to form a heat sink for the printed circuit.

Abstract: A system for reducing torque ripple in an electric motor, comprising an electric motor having a stator and a rotor, a first set of N Hall sensors, a second set of N Hall sensors, a controller, and wherein said N Hall sensors in each said set of Hall sensors is spaced 360/N electrical degrees apart and said first and second sets of Hall sensors are spaced T electrical degrees apart, and wherein said controller is adapted to provide increased current during an overlap period detected by said Hall sensors.
