Abstract: A Hall-Effect sensor assembly for a rotating electric machine comprises a thin, removable tubular substrate with Hall-Effect sensors and associated connection wiring mounted on it that slips underneath the wound stator end turns of the stator for the rotating electric machine to make the assembly easily removable for installation and repair.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a mechanical joint supporting a printed circuit board and a solder joint of power module terminals to a printed circuit board, as well as a mechanical joint for facilitating a thermal interface between a power module and a heat sink or cold plate is disclosed. The system provides for both mechanical joints through a common mechanical support including a plurality of standoffs mounted to studs projecting from a heat sink or cold plate, wherein the assembly also provides for an insulating spacer to be clamped to the standoffs via a wing nut or similar fastener to support the printed circuit board.
