Abstract
Abstract A miniature motor is provided with a rotor having a plurality of magnetic poles extending axially, which are disposed radially on the outer circumferential surface thereof, and a stator having two coils wound on coil bobbins and disposed axially in a housing formed into a bottomed hollow cylindrical shape. An end plate is fitted to an open end of the housing, in which a current feeding connector is provided, and a printed circuit board having at board end prongs carrying bonding pieces for electrically connecting to the connectors is interposed between the coil bobbins. Coil ends are connected directly to the bonding pieces of the printed circuit board.
