Abstract:
A connector structure for powering an electric motor, the connector structure comprising:a connector body;a low speed terminal in said body;a high speed terminal in said body;a ground terminal in said body; said ground terminal and said high speed terminal being constructed and arranged to be coupled directly to the motor, and said low speed terminal, said high speed terminal and said ground terminal each being constructed and arranged to be coupled to a source of electric power to power the motor;a resistive element coupled between said low speed terminal and said high speed terminal; anda shield member housing said resistive element, said shield member being coupled directly to said connector body and extending outwardly therefrom,whereby, electrical power to the motor is controlled by selectively energizing said low speed terminal, said high speed terminal or both said low speed terminal and high speed terminal so as to operate the motor at two different speeds.
