Abstract: An electric machine includes windings, a terminal block, and terminal connectors. The windings have lead ends and neutral ends. The terminal block has a plurality of bus bars, a neutral bar, and an insulating material. Each bus bar is connected to one or more of the lead ends. The neutral bar is connected to one or more of the neutral ends. The insulating material encapsulates the plurality of bus bars and the neutral bar, defines a plurality of orifices, and defines a plurality of slots. Each lead end extends through one of the orifices from the outer boundary to one of the bus bars. Each neutral end extends through one of the orifices from the outer boundary to neutral bar. Each terminal connector extends through one of the slots from the outer boundary to one of the bus bars.
