Terminal connector assembly for vehicle electric machine

A vehicle electric machine assembly comprising:

• one or more three-phase terminals connected to end windings extending from a terminal block integrated with a stator core;
• a terminal block cap defining three cavities each sized to receive one of the one or more three-phase terminals and including three connectors for electrical connection with an inverter;
• a first overmold encompassing the one or more three-phase terminals and the end windings such that a portion of each of the one or more three-phase terminals is exposed for electrical connection;
• and
• a second overmold encompassing the terminal block cap such that each of the three phase terminals may be disposed within one of the three cavities for electrical connection to the three connectors.

A vehicle electric machine assembly comprising:

• a stator core defining a cavity and including end windings;
• a rotor disposed within the cavity;
• a first overmold encompassing the end windings;
• one or more three-phase terminals arranged with the end windings for electrical connection at a periphery portion of the first overmold;
• and
• a second overmold encompassing the one or more three-phase terminals and a terminal block including one or more connectors to receive each of the three-phase terminals,
• wherein the first overmold and the second overmold are formed separately such that mounting the second overmold to the first overmold electrically connects the end windings and the one or more three-phase terminals.
