Abstract:
1. An electric motor assembly comprising: a rotor rotatable about an axis; a stator spaced radially from the rotor; a case defining an internal motor chamber in which the stator and rotor are housed, with the case presenting axial margins, said case including an endshield adjacent one of said axial margins, said endshield including a plate with a capacitor-mounting assembly thereon, said capacitor-mounting assembly including a lug that presents a capacitor-engaging projection spaced outwardly from the endshield plate, said capacitor-engaging projection presenting an inner face in an opposed relationship to the endshield plate to define a capacitor-retaining space therebetween; and a capacitor including a housing with a peripheral lip, said housing lip located within the capacitor-retaining space, with the housing lip engaging the capacitor-engaging projection.
