Claims
- 1. A method of providing a capacitor cover and an electrical connector electrically connecting at least one electrical terminal to at least one internal lead of the capacitor, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a disc of electrically insulative material and having at least one aperture therein,
- (b) providing an insert to be inserted in said aperture, said insert being comprised of a knurled portion, a tenon extending therefrom, and receiving means adapted to receive said electrical terminal, said tenon having a shoulder to provide first and second diameter tenons,
- (c) forcing said knurled portion into said aperture such that an anti-twist characteristic is developed between said insert and said disc,
- (d) deforming said first diameter tenon to flatten same against said disc to provide a washer and a seal between said disc and said tenon, and
- (e) positioning said internal lead on said washer and deforming said second diameter tenon against said internal lead to hold same in place.
- 2. A method according to claim 1 wherein said knurled portion is forced into said aperture through pressure.
- 3. A method according to claim 1 wherein said first diameter tenon is flattened by orbital riveting.
- 4. A method according to claim 1 wherein said second diameter tenon is deformed by orbital riveting.
- 5. A method according to claim 1 and further comprising the steps of providing an electrically insulative bushing, and locating said bushing in surrounding relation to said first diameter tenon and in engagement with said disc, wherein said bushing is captured between said washer and said disc when said first diameter tenon is deformed.
- 6. A method according to claim 5 and further comprising the step of forcing said knurled portion into at least a portion of said bushing.
- 7. A method of providing a capacitor cover and an electrical connector electrically connecting at least one electrical terminal to at least one internal lead of the capacitor, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a disc of electrically insulative material having therein at least one aperture,
- (b) providing an insert to be inserted in said aperture, said insert including a knurled portion, a tenon extending therefrom and having a shoulder to provide first and second diameter tenons, and reciving means adapted to receive said electrical terminal,
- (c) forcing said knurled portion into said aperture such that an anti-twist characteristic is developed between said insert and said disc,
- (d) providing an electrically insulative bushing and locating said bushing in surrounding relation to said first diameter tenon and in engagement with said disc,
- (e) deforming said first diameter tenon to flatten same against said disc to provide a washer and a seal between said disc and said tenon and to capture said bushing between said washer and said disc, and
- (f) positioning said internal lead on said washer and deforming said second diameter tenon against said internal lead to hold same in place.
