Abstract: Disclosed is a terminal assembly for a stator of a dynamoelectric machine. The terminal assembly includes a at least five electrically conductive tracks arrayed in a single layer, each track configured and positioned for electrical communication with corresponding leads extending from the stator providing electrical connection between at least one lead of stator leads and a rectifier bridge. The tracks are at least partially encapsulated in a nonconductive casing.

Abstract: A bearing retainer for use with a bearing having an outside diameter which is to be received in the bearing retainer and to be mounted into a cavity having an inside diameter includes a bearing-engaging wall having a minimum inside diameter when the bearing retainer is in a non-deformed state approximately equal to but slightly less than the outside diameter of the bearing to be received therein, an outer cavity-engaging wall having a maximum outside diameter when the bearing retainer is in a non-deformed state approximately equal to the inside diameter of the cavity within which the bearing retainer is to be received, a web wall extending between and coupling the bearing-engaging wall and the cavity-engaging wall and wherein the bearing-engaging wall, cavity-engaging wall and web wall are fabricated from a material capable of elastic and plastic deformation so that upon insertion of the bearing into the bearing retainer the bearing-engaging wall is deformed to secure the bearing within the bearing retainer a
