a side wall portion extending to an axially lower side from a lower surface of the upper lid portion; and

at least a portion of the side wall portion is disposed within the space between adjacent ones of the core back protrusions.

2. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of a circumferentially side surface of the side wall portion comes into contact with a circumferentially side surface of the core back protrusions.

3. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein a radial position of a radially inside surface of the side wall portion is same as a radial position of a radially inside surface of each of the core back protrusions or is farther radially outside than the radial position of the radially inside surface of each of the core back protrusions.

4. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of a radially inside surface of the side wall portion is contactable with a radially outside surface of the bearing housing.

5. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein an axially lower side end surface of the side wall portion is positioned at the axially upper side relative to an axially lower side end surface of the core back.

6. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the upper lid portion covers at least a portion of an axially upper end surface of the bearing housing.

7. The motor according to claim 6 , wherein an insulator recess recessed to the axially upper side is provided on a lower surface of the upper lid portion that is axially opposed to the axially upper end surface of the bearing housing.

8. The motor according to claim 6 , wherein a housing recess recessed to the axially lower side is provided at a radially outside corner of an axially upper end portion of the bearing housing axially opposed to the upper lid portion.

9. The motor according to claim 6 , wherein

a radially inner end of the upper lid portion includes an upper cylindrical portion extending to the axially upper side; and

a radially inside surface of the upper cylindrical portion is fitted to a radially outside surface of the bearing housing.

10. The motor according to claim 6 , wherein

a radially inner end of the upper lid portion includes a lower cylindrical portion that extends to the axially lower side at a radially inside relative to the side wall portion; and

a radially outside surface of the lower cylindrical portion is fitted to a radially inside surface of the bearing housing.

11. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the upper lid portion covers at least a portion of an upper surface of the bearing.

12. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the insulator includes a protrusion wall portion protruding to the axially upper side.

13. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

the insulator includes an upper insulator covering at least a portion of the axially upper side of the teeth and a lower insulator covering at least a portion of the axially lower side of the teeth; and

at least a portion in an axial direction of a radially inside surface of the lower insulator comes into contact with a radially outside surface of the bearing housing in the entire circumferential direction.

14. The motor according to claim 13 , wherein a radial gap is provided between the radially inside surface of the lower insulator and the radially outside surface of the bearing housing at the axially upper side relative to a contact portion between the radially inside surface of the lower insulator and the radially outside surface of the bearing housing.

15. The motor according to claim 13 , wherein

the lower insulator further includes a snap fit portion that extends to the axially lower side and holds a substrate; and

a contact portion between the radially inside surface of the lower insulator and the radially outside surface of the bearing housing is positioned at the axially upper side relative to the snap fit portion.

16. The motor according to claim 15 , wherein the snap fit portion and a fitting portion between a radially inside surface of each of the core back protrusions and the radially outside surface of the bearing housing are not superimposed in the circumferential direction.
