Abstract

A sleeve connector for an electromagnetic clutch has a first holder carrying a diode and a resistor for absorbing surge voltage and removing an induced magnetic field generated by an electromagnetic clutch field coil assembly. First and second terminals respectively connected with the diode and the resistor are held by a second holder so the terminals are insulated from each other. A molded plastic middle assembly encapsulates the diode, resistor, both holders and both terminals and joins the holders to each other.

Claims (14)

1. A sleeve connector for an electromagnetic clutch, comprising:

a discharge device for absorbing a surge voltage;

a magnetic field elimination device for eliminating residual magnetic field, which is electrically connected with one end of the discharge device;

a first holder for installing the discharge device and the magnetic field elimination device;

first and second terminals that are respectively connected with the discharge device and the magnetic field elimination device;

a second holder for installing the two terminals in a status that the two terminals are insulated from each other,

wherein the holders are joined to form a middle assembly comprising the discharge device, the magnetic field elimination device, the first holder, the first and second terminals and the second holder that are encapsulated by plastic.

2. The sleeve connector for an electromagnetic clutch as set forth in claim 1 , wherein a fixing protrusion is formed at one of the first and second holder, and a fixing hole corresponding to the fixing protrusion is formed at the other.

3. The sleeve connector for an electromagnetic clutch as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the discharge device is a diode, and the magnetic field elimination device is a resistor.

4. The sleeve connector for an electromagnetic clutch as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the first and second terminals respectively comprise a diode connection part and a resistor connection part so that a wire of the resistor is connected to one of the terminals and a wire of the diode is connected to the other.

5. A sleeve connector for an electromagnetic clutch comprising a first holder carrying first and second electrical components for absorbing surge voltage and removing an induced magnetic field generated by an electromagnetic clutch field coil assembly, first and second terminals respectively connected with the first and second components, a second holder holding the first and second terminals so the first and second terminals are insulated from each other, and a molded plastic middle assembly encapsulating the first and second components, the first and second holders and the first and second terminals and joining the holders to each other.

6. The connector of claim 5 wherein one of the holders includes a fixing protrusion, the other of the holders including a fixing hole corresponding to the fixing protrusion.

7. The connector of claim 5 wherein the first and second electrical components are respectively a diode and resistor.

8. The connector of claim 7 wherein the first and second terminals respectively comprise a diode connection part and a resistor connection part so that a wire of the resistor is connected to one of the terminals and a wire of the diode is connected to the other.
