Abstract
A terminal connection board finding application with dynamoelectric machines is provided with an integrally formed insulated pocket. In dual voltage motors, final connection of the motor in a particular application is not always determined until the motor is inserted in that application. When motors rated at 115/230 volts are employed in 230 volt source applications, for example, one motor lead is disconnected at the terminal board. The insulated pocket of this invention provides a safe receptacle for that motor lead. Preferably, the pocket includes a locking device for holding the motor lead within the pocket after its insertion.
