Electric actuator
An electric actuator includes: a motor unit; a speed reducer; a circuit board; a busbar; and a housing. The housing has a motor case and a circuit board case attached to one side of the motor case in an axial direction. The circuit board case has a bottom wall blocking an opening of the motor case. The bottom wall has a bottom wall through-hole that penetrates through the bottom wall in the axial direction on an outer side beyond the speed reducer in the radial direction. A busbar has a busbar main body section, a coil line connecting section to which a coil line extending on one side in the axial direction from a coil is connected, and a connection terminal section. The connection terminal section extends to one side of the bottom wall in the axial direction via the bottom wall through-hole and is connected to the circuit board.
