  • Patent number: 5903072
    Abstract: An electric motor input circuit including a leadless capacitor which reliably and efficiently provides the highest possible level of RFI suppression and the greatest reduction in conducted voltage transients. The assembly includes a capacitor having no solid lead wires and no epoxy coating which is snap-fit into the motor power circuit so that one of the capacitor plates is in pressing engagement with one of the input terminals and the other of the capacitor plates is in pressing engagement with a conducting tab. The conducting tab is formed on the other of the input terminals, and the capacitor is, therefore, connected between the terminals without the use of solid capacitor leads.
