Snap together, wrap around cored coil clamp

An electrical assembly comprising:

• a generally squared figure eight laminated core assembly having a coil assembly surrounding a central cross bar of said core assembly;
• an upper clamp comprising a top wall having end walls extending generally perpendicular thereof, each of said end walls having front and rear flanges extending perpendicular therefrom, front and rear flanges of said end walls having mounting feet extending perpendicular therefrom, such that said mounting feet are in a plane which is generally parallel to the plane of said top wall, said end walls having slots formed therein at the distal ends thereof;
• and
• a bottom clamp having a bottom wall with front and rear flanges extending at right angles thereto and extensions of said bottom wall formed at a slight downward angle thereto, said extensions having end walls extending generally perpendicular thereto, the end-to-end length of said bottom wall being just slightly larger than the end-to-end length of said top wall of said upper clamp so that the end walls of said upper clamp will fit snugly within the end walls of said lower clamp, the end walls of said lower clamp having tabs staked therein, the bottoms of which extend inwardly of said end walls so as to engage said slots of said end walls of said upper clamp when said upper clamp is positioned within said lower clamp, the flanges of said lower clamp being sized to extend between edges of the flanges of one of the end walls of said upper clamp and the edges of the flanges of the other end wall of said upper clamp when said upper clamp is disposed within said lower clamp, said upper clamp fashioned to slip snugly over said core and coil assemblies, and fit snugly within the end walls of said lower clamp so that the lower edge of the tabs in said lower clamp engage the lower edge of a slots in said upper clamp, thereby to secure said clamps together and encapsulate said core.
