CIRCUIT BOARD, MOTOR, DISK DRIVE APPARATUS AND CIRCUIT BOARD MANUFACTURING METHOD

摘要

A circuit board for supplying therethrough an electric current to a stator including windings arranged to generate magnetic fields includes a body portion having a rectangular shape when seen in a plan view and mounted with electronic parts, and an extension portion protruding from the body portion substantially along a circumferential direction around a rotation axis of the motor when seen in a plan view. The extension portion includes a distal end extension opposed to the body portion through a gap when seen in a plan view. The transverse width of the extension portion is smaller than the gap. The body portion includes an outward connector portion connected to an external power source or an external circuit board. The extension portion includes a winding connection portion connected to the outward connector portion through a wiring portion. The windings are soldered to the winding connection portion.
