1. A stator, comprising:
a body having a pole;
a connector interface disposed in a portion of the body and including a terminal having a wire termination at a termination end, the terminal has a bent section at the termination end that is bent to a bending angle greater than 0° and less than or equal to 90° with respect to a main section of the terminal, the connector interface has a terminal base with a terminal passageway extending through the terminal base, the terminal is disposed in the terminal passageway and the termination end of the terminal with the bent section protrudes beyond the terminal base, the terminal base has a hook pin adjacent to the terminal in the terminal passageway, the hook pin has a protrusion at an end opposite the terminal passageway; and
a wire disposed around the pole and extending to the termination end of the terminal, the wire is electrically and mechanically connected with the terminal at the wire termination, the bent section of the terminal forms a slackened portion of the wire adjacent to the wire termination, the bent section has a pre-bent state and a bent state, the bent section has the bending angle in the bent state, the wire termination is positioned closer to the protrusion of the hook pin in the bent state than in the pre-bent state.
