Abstract

To prevent connecting difficulties in the manufacture of automotive-type alternators of the claw pole generator type, resilient spring compression terminals, or contacts are formed, respectively, on a terminal board or on a voltage regulator terminal for engagement with a spring terminal element connected to the fieldwinding so that mere placement of the terminal board or a voltage regulator, respectively, against the springy terminal connections will effect electrical connection and not requiring any internal connecting steps within the alternator and especially at locations of impaired accessibility since they are hidden behind the terminal board, or voltage regulator, respectively.
