Patent ID: 7150631

Claim:
A motor assembly for a hybrid electro-mechanical transmission comprising: a motor/generator having a rotor and a stator; an electrical connector assembly including an isolator member and first and second nuts being nonrotatably attached to the isolator member; a first conductive path operatively connected to the motor/generator and having a first terminal defining a first terminal hole; a second conductive path operatively connected to the motor/generator and having a second terminal defining a second terminal hole; wherein said first nut defines a threaded first nut hole and said second nut defines a threaded second nut hole; wherein said first and second terminals are positioned with respect to the isolator member in a final position such that the first terminal hole substantially aligns with the first nut hole and the second terminal hole substantially aligns with the second nut hole; wherein the isolator member defines two generally tapering slots, and wherein the first and second terminals at least partially extend through a respective one of the two slots; and wherein the two slots are operable to guide and capture the respective first and second terminals in the final position.
