Abstract
An assembly comprises an AC (alternating current) housing connection block and a plurality of inserts seated in the AC housing connection block, wherein for each of the inserts, an interface between the insert and the housing is continuous. A method includes inserting a plurality of inserts into a mold; and molding an AC (alternating current) housing connection block.
Claims17
An assembly comprising:
- an AC (alternating current) housing connection block;
- and
- a plurality of inserts seated in the AC housing connection block, wherein an interface between each insert and the AC housing connection block is continuous, wherein the AC housing connection block is disposed over the plurality of inserts, wherein each of the inserts is threaded internally for receiving a respective connector to electrically connect the AC housing connection block to a rectifier, wherein each of the inserts is mirror-image symmetrical with itself such that a first end of each insert is internally threaded for receiving a first connector to electrically connect the AC housing connection block to the rectifier and a second end of each insert is internally threaded for receiving a second connector to electrically connect the AC housing connection block to the rectifier.
An assembly comprising:
- an AC (alternating current) housing connection block defining a central axis and including a central bore configured to provide a cooling flow to a rectifier assembly, wherein one end of the AC housing connection block defines an alignment protrusion configured to mate with a recess within the rectifier assembly to align a cooling flow path through the central bore with one or more cooling flow paths within the rectifier assembly;
- and
- a plurality of inserts seated in the AC housing connection block arranged circumferentially about the central bore, wherein an interface between each insert and the AC housing connection block is continuous in the axial direction.
