1. A stator assembly comprising:
- (a) a stator core comprising laminated electromagnetic steel sheets and further comprising wire wound coils;
(b) an over-molded insulator covering the stator core and being positioned between the stator core and the wire wound coils;
wherein the over-molded insulator comprises a thermally conductive polymer composition having a thermal conductivity of at least about 0.6 W/mK; and
(c) an adhesive component interfaced between the stator core (a) and the over-molded insulator (b);
wherein the thermally conductive polymer composition comprises a base polymer and a filler material; and
wherein the base polymer is selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic polymers and thermosetting polymers, and the polymer contains groups that are reactive with the adhesive component (c).

Abstract
A stator assembly and a method for making a stator assembly wherein the stator assembly is over-molded with thermally conductive and electrically insulating polymer composition. The stator core of the stator assembly is coated with adhesive component to provide higher heat transfer at the interface of stator core and over-molded insulator and coil.
