Non-circular, flat motor

摘要

A non-circular flat motor in which terminal portions are installed at dead spaces and a manufacturing method. The motor can be easily held by a transferring apparatus and automatically mounted. The feeder terminal is easily reflow soldered. A rotor and a housing supporting the rotor are non-circular when in a plane perpendicular to the rotor axis. Feeder terminals or installation terminals are arranged at corners of surfaces of the housing. At least one feeder terminal is insulated from other portions of the housing. The corners may be concave so that each of the terminals does not protrude beyond the housing. Each of the terminals is easily reflow-soldered and exposed at the side of the housing.
