Abstract

A stator (1) includes a stator core (10), an insulating member (14) attached to the stator core, and a printed circuit board (18) attached to the insulating member. The stator core includes a center portion (102). Pole members (104) extend outwardly from the center portion. The insulating member includes a center section (142) corresponding to the center portion of the stator core. Extensions (14) extend outwardly from the center portion of the insulating member, corresponding to the pole members. The insulating member defines an outer periphery. Joint portions of the insulating member and the printed circuit board are located within the outer periphery of the insulating member and spaced from the extensions a distance along an axial direction of the stator.

Claims
