Abstract
A terminal module includes a ring-shaped rail having a groove extending in a circumferential direction, a bus bar fitted into the groove, and a connector portion having a connector terminal connecting the bus bar with an external wire. The rail has a phase determining hole for determining a phase of rotation of the rail about an axial direction.
Claims3
A terminal module for a rotating electric machine mounted on an end surface in an axial direction of a stator of the rotating electric machine, comprising:
- a ring-shaped bus bar housing having a groove extending in a circumferential direction;
- a bus bar fitted into said groove;
- and
- a connector portion having a terminal connecting said bus bar with an external wire,
