ABSTRACT:
A terminal and capacitor box is provided for mounting directly onto a generally cylindrical surface of an electric induction motor housing. The terminal box includes a generally rectangular body member adapted to receive a pair of capacitors therein. The body member includes a substantially planar deck surface, a first pair of substantially rectangular opposing sidewalls, and a second pair of opposing sidewalls. The second pair of sidewalls have a curved bottom edge preselectively contoured to conform to the curved surface of the electric motor housing. In addition to the above, the terminal box includes a torsional spring member for engaging the pair of capacitors and holding the pair of capacitors in place against the planar deck surface of the rectangular body member and between the sidewalls regardless of the orientation of the terminal box. Thus facilitating the manufacturing process by rendering the box less sensitive to rough handling and more ameanable to processing as a subassembly. A successive set of subassemblies are formed by attaching the capacitors and then the electrical connector to the box and then lastly pre-wiring certain connections within the box. Together, the assembled unit is available for later attachment to an electric motor.
