ABSTRACT:
A terminal block assembly for a leadless motor comprises a terminal block housing, an arrangement for securing the housing in an opening in a motor shell, plural spaced-apart motor leads and terminals molded into the housing, a latching mechanism for providing a positive "lock" with a mating connector assembly, and provisions for preventing the connector assembly from being matingly received by the terminal block assembly in other than a predetermined desired orientation. The latching mechanism comprises an open box-like structure formed on an exterior surface of a horizontal side wall of the terminal block housing. The assembly is provided with a raised projection on an exterior surface of a second horizontal side wall, in substantially opposing relation to the open box-like structure of the latching mechanism, to prevent mating of the connector and terminal block assemblies when the connector assembly is rotated 180.degree. from the predetermined desired orientation. The terminal block further includes plural vertically oriented separating walls and end walls extending between the first and second horizontal side walls to form box-like enclosures around the motor terminals. The wall thicknesses of the separating walls are substantially uniform, corresponding to widths of respective mating openings on the connector assembly, while the wall thickness of the end walls are substantially greater to prevent mating of the connector and terminal assemblies when the connector assembly is laterally offset from the predetermined desired orientation.
