Electric motor brush assembly

An electric motor brush assembly, comprising:

• an electrically conductive brush box having at least one crimping tab;
• a base member having an upper surface and an oppositely disposed crimping surface, the electrically conductive brush box being located against the upper surface and having a portion of the crimping tab located against the oppositely disposed crimping surface;
• and
• a field case housing having a seat retaining the base member;
• wherein the field case housing and the base member cooperate to maintain the at least one crimping tab away from the field case housing.

An electric motor brush assembly, comprising:

• an electrically conductive brush box adapted to hold a brush and having at least one crimping tab;
• a base member formed of high temperature resistant plastic and adapted to cooperate with the crimping tab to retain the brush box against a surface of the base member;
• a field case housing having a seat, the base member being located against the seat;
• and
• a screw member having a head and being threaded into the field case housing such that the head presses against a surface of the base member to retain the base member in the seat, the screw member being located in non-contacting relationship with the electrically conductive brush box.
