Stator Having a Wire With a Slackened Portion

A method of forming a slackened portion of a wire in a stator, comprising:

• providing a stator having a body with a pole and a connector interface disposed in a portion of the body, the connector interface includes a terminal having a wire termination at a termination end;
• positioning the wire around the pole and extending to the termination end of the terminal, the wire is electrically and mechanically connected with the terminal at the wire termination with the wire in a taut state and the terminal in a pre-bent state;
• and
• bending the terminal from the pre-bent state to a bent state, the bending of the terminal to the bent state slackens the wire to a slackened state in which the wire has a slackened portion adjacent to the wire termination.
