Abstract

Insulator that forms an insulating layer on a surface of a plurality of stacked stator cores includes protruding part extending from an outer circumference of stator cores on a substantially same face as one end face of stator cores in a stacking direction. Protruding part includes hooks that fixedly holds connector having a plurality of connector terminals for feeding power from outside. Connector is fixedly held by hooks, winding is wound around each slot of stator cores via insulator, and connector terminals are fixedly press-fitted to connector. A tip of each of connector terminals on a side of winding is bent into a substantially L-shape, winding end in each phase of winding is directly tied to L-shaped tip of connector terminal and connected thereto by soldering.

Claims (24)

1. A brushless DC motor comprising:

a plurality of stacked stator cores;

an insulator configured to form an insulating layer on a surface of the stator cores and to have a protruding part extending from an outer circumference of the stator cores on a same face as one end face of the stator cores in a stacking direction;

a winding wound around the stator cores via the insulator; and

a connector configured to have a plurality of connector terminals that feed power from outside, and to be fixedly held by the protruding part,

wherein at least one of the plurality of connector terminals is connected to a corresponding end of the winding, and

the at least one of the plurality of connector terminals connected to the corresponding end of the winding is bent into an L-shape, and other of the plurality of connector terminals are straight.

2. A brushless DC motor comprising:

a plurality of stacked stator cores;

an insulator configured to form an insulating layer on a surface of the stator cores and to have a protruding part extending from an outer circumference of the stator cores on a same face as one end face of the stator cores in a stacking direction;

a winding wound around the stator cores via the insulator;

a connector configured to have a plurality of connector terminals that feed power from outside, and to be fixedly held by the protruding part; and

a board holder configured to protrude in a stacking direction of the stator cores to hold a driving circuit board,

wherein the protruding part includes a first protruding part and a second protruding part,

wherein at least one of the plurality of connector terminals is connected to a corresponding end of the winding,

the first protruding part has a connector holder with a connector-neighboring hole,
