ABSTRACT:
A hermetic terminal assembly has a plurality of conductor pins which define integral fusible links (36). A unique plug is provided which both separates the individual wires (70) leading to the conductor pins and allows, in cooperation with a fence or with the shell (21) of the compressor (10), for the restriction of access to the conductor pins while the conductor pins are connected to a power source. This unique plug also allows for the positioning of the integral fusible link on the outside of the shell (12) thus resolving the problems associated with compromising the integrity of the shell (12) upon separating of the fuse-like link (36). In addition, the plug insures that the conductor pins are maintained in an electrical isolated fashion should the fuse-like link (36) separate. The fence can be formed as a separate member or alternately to be integral with the terminal body. The plug can be formed with a lip (82) to sealingly engage the fence, or, when no fence is present, to directly engage the shell (12) (FIG. 9). Alternately, the plug can be formed with resilient portions for latching and scrolling engagement with the fence (FIGS. 11-13, 15, 16). The fence is also formable with a grounding lug and with an opening to ensure proper orientation of the plug. The plug can also be formed to cover the wire connection to the grounding lug.
