Leadless motor construction

A leadless motor comprising:

• an enclosure;
• a stator assembly in said enclosure, said stator assembly including a core having at least one slot formed therein, insulation on said core, and a winding carried by said core, said winding having at least a first end and a second end;
• a plurality of terminals, one each of said terminals being electrically connected to respective ones of said first and said second winding ends, and a third terminal having a first end positioned in said slot and electrically connected to said core;
• a receptacle for receiving all of said terminals, said receptacle being positioned at least partially within said enclosure;
• and
• a spring for biasing said receptacle between said enclosure and said stator assembly.

A leadless motor comprising:

• an enclosure;
• a stator assembly within said enclosure, said stator assembly including a core having at least one slot formed therein, and a winding carried by said core having at least a first end and a second end;
• a plurality of terminals, one each of said terminals being electrically connected to respective ends of said winding, and a third terminal having a first end electrically connected to said stator assembly along said slot;
• a receptacle for receiving said terminal plurality, said receptacle being mounted on and positioned at least partly within said enclosure, said receptacle including a support for supporting and holding said third terminal with respect to said slot.

A dynamoelectric machine comprising:

• an enclosure;
• a stator assembly in said enclosure, said stator assembly including a core formed from ferromagnetic material having at least one slot formed therein, an insulation system positioned on said core, a winding carried by said core, a plurality of terminals associated with said insulation system, said insulation system holding said terminals and facilitating the connection of said terminals to said winding;
• and
• a receptacle mounted on and at least partially positioned internally of said enclosure and being accessible externally of said dynamoelectric machine, said receptacle being positioned to receive said terminals, at least one of said terminals having a first end in electrical contact with said stator core along said slot and a second end in said receptacle so as to provide a ground for said dynamoelectric machine.
