Abstract:
A member of relatively rigid insulating material for supporting a wire end of an electrical coil, for example, and an electrical connector thereon in fixed position relative to the coil, the connector being of the type having a shank secured to the wire end and a terminal portion extending beyond the wire end. A portion of the shank has, in transverse section, maximum first and second dimensions generally at right angles to one another, the second being smaller than the first. The support member has a recess therein extending therethrough, the recess being open at one end for reception of the wire end and open at the other end to enable the terminal portion of the connector to extend out of the recess. The member also has a slot therein extending axially of the recess from one end to the other for entry of the terminal into the recess. The slot has a width slightly greater than the second dimension of the shank of the connector but less than the first dimension, whereby the shank may be entered laterally through the slot into the recess and the connector and the member turned relative one to the other to a position in which the shank is prevented from moving laterally out through the slot.
