    Abstract: An e-machine is disclosed that comprises a stator, a terminal block, and a plurality of interface conductors. The stator is disposed inside a housing in a wet portion of the housing that contains transmission fluid. The terminal block is attached to the housing and is electrically connected to an inverter system controller of the e-machine. The terminal block is disposed in a dry portion of the housing that does not contain transmission fluid. The plurality of interface conductors each include a hollow conductive body, a stator lead lug on a first end connected to windings of the stator, and a busbar on a second end connected to the terminal block. A seal is assembled at an intermediate location in a groove on an outer surface of the hollow conductive body. A plug is assembled inside the hollow conductive body.

    Abstract: An electric machine includes a stator core, interconnected hairpin windings, and a terminal. The interconnected hairpin windings are arranged between an inner diameter and an outer diameter of the core. The interconnected hairpin windings are arranged to form a plurality of electrical phases. The terminal is configured to connect a first of the plurality of electrical phases of the hairpin windings to a power source. The terminal has a first plate that is connected to a first pair of hairpins that are disposed along the outer diameter of the core. The terminal has a second plate that is connected to a second pair of hairpins that are disposed along the inner diameter of the core. The terminal has a bridge plate that extends between and connects the first plate to the second plate.

    Abstract: A motor for an electric vehicle includes a motor housing for receiving a stator. A plurality of caps each have an outer rim and a washer portion defining a bolt receiving opening. The outer rim of each of the caps is press-fit into the receptacles in the motor housing. The caps are each attached to the stator by one of the bolts. The heads of the bolts clamp the cap to the stator to retain one end of the stator. The outer rim holds the cap in the motor housing while the washer portion flexes axially in response to thermal expansion and contraction of the motor housing. A method is disclosed for assembling the stator into the motor housing.

    Abstract: A vehicle transmission includes a housing, an electric machine, a bracket, and a plurality of fasteners. The housing has internal rear and internal side walls that define a cavity. The electric machine stator and the bracket are disposed within the cavity. The bracket has a metallic inner ring and an elastomer outer ring. The elastomer outer ring engages the internal side wall. The electric machine stator is disposed between the bracket and the internal rear wall. The plurality of fasteners extends through the metallic inner ring, through the stator, and engages the rear internal wall to secure the stator to the housing.
