  • Patent number: 4038573
    Abstract: A terminal board is provided for terminating the coil ends of a winding on an electric motor or other wound coil. The terminal board comprises a unitary structure which overlays the coil supporting structure. In a preferred embodiment, the terminal board will comprise supporting structure for multiple groups of terminals. A wing member joins together the supporting structure for each group of terminals to make a unitary terminal board. In a preferred embodiment, the terminal board is first retained in position by press fitting a boss on the underside of the terminal board into a mating hole in the supporting structure. The coils cooperate with a portion of the terminal board to provide a second retention means. The wing members comprise a thin wall structure which extends normal to the mounting plane and provides a barrier to retain the individual windings of the coils within a predetermined space. The terminals are not included on the terminal board structure when it is first mounted.
