1. A rotary actuator comprising:
a rotor; a stator for generating magnetic field acted on the rotor for rotating the rotor; a housing for rotatably supporting the rotor and for firmly supporting the stator; a rotational angle detecting unit for detecting rotational angle of the rotor upon receiving electric power; a circuit board fixed to the housing and having a wire connected to the rotational angle detecting unit, which is mounted to the circuit board; a terminal extending from an inner wall of the housing toward the circuit board and inserted through a through-hole formed in the circuit board; and a connecting member provided at a side of the circuit board opposite to the inner wall of the housing for electrically connecting the terminal to the wire, wherein the connecting member is composed of: a base portion through which the terminal is inserted; a pair of leg portions integrally formed with the base portion at an outer periphery of the base portion, the leg portions being electrically connected to the wire; a pair of deformation suppressing portions formed at a side of the leg portions opposite to the base portion, each of the deformation suppressing portions being extending from the leg portion toward the terminal; and a pair of holding portions, each holding portion extending from an inner-side end of the deformation suppressing portion toward a forward end of the terminal, for elastically holding the terminal between them. |
