Abstract

The present invention provides a connection terminal for holding a plurality of electrical wires ends in place prior to crimping the connection terminal without displacement of the wires ends, and a stator utilizing the connection terminal. The stator includes a distributor unit for supplying electric current to a coil unit through the electrical wires. The distributor unit has the connection terminal to be connected with the wires ends. The connection terminal has a bottom wall with a setting surface of a flat surface prior to crimping the connection terminal. The stator has a guide surface disposed on a brim of a bobbin adjacent to a holder for holding the electrical wires. The guide surface is flush with the flat surface of the connection terminal.

Claims (25)

1. A connection terminal comprising:

a bottom wall having a setting surface for stably holding a plurality of electrical wires prior to crimping; and

a pair of crimping pieces upstanding from both edges of the setting surface for crimping the plurality of the electrical wires,

wherein

the setting surface has a flat surface, extending between the pair of crimping pieces, satisfying a relation of 2R·(N−1)≦W<2R·N, where W is a width of the flat surface, N is a number of the electrical wires, and R is a radius of the electrical wires; and

wherein the width of the flat surface is less than the width of the setting surface.

2. A stator comprising:

a coil unit circularly disposed around a rotation axle of a motor; and

a distributor unit for connecting the plurality of the electrical wires to supply electric current thereto of the coil unit,

wherein

the distributor unit includes the connection terminal as claimed in claim 1 , and

the coil unit has a bobbin having a guide surface flush with the flat surface of the connection terminal for positioning the electrical wires.

3. The stator as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the guide surface is disposed on the bobbin of the coil unit wound with the electrical wires.

4. A connection terminal comprising:

a bottom wall for holding a plurality of electrical wires; and

a pair of crimping pieces upstanding from both edges of the bottom wall for crimping the plurality of the electrical wires,

wherein

the bottom wall has a setting surface for stably holding the plurality of the electrical wires prior to crimping, and

the setting surface has a flat surface between the pair of crimping pieces and a projection extending upwardly from the flat surface for positioning the electrical wires.

5. A stator comprising:

a coil unit circularly disposed around a rotation axle of a motor; and

a distributor unit for connecting the plurality of the electrical wires to supply electric current thereto of the coil unit,

wherein

the distributor unit includes the connection terminal as claimed in claim 4 , and the coil unit has a bobbin having a guide surface flush with the flat surface of the connection terminal for positioning the electrical wires.

6. The stator as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the guide surface is disposed on the bobbin of the coil unit wound with the electrical wires.
