Motor having heat-dissipating structure for circuit component and fan unit including the motor

摘要

A motor includes a rotor and a stator. The stator includes a circuit board on which a control circuit for controlling rotation of the rotor is formed. A circuit component of the control circuit is mounted on a surface of the circuit board facing a base portion. A heat conductive member is arranged between the base portion and the circuit component to be in contact with the base portion and the circuit component. Thus, a heat generated by the circuit component is transferred to the base portion through the heat conductive member and is then transferred to connecting portions and a wall of a housing which are formed integrally with the base portion from thermally conductive material.
