Electric motor for optical disk drive, has connector element provided in substrate near top end surface and electrically connected to connector element in carrier for connecting tracks on substrate to energy source

摘要

Motor has two halves and lower half has foil-shaped insulating substrate on which conductive metal tracks are provided. A connector unit (79) has connector element (91) on the substrate between the end surfaces and is electrically connected to conductor tracks. A connector element (93) is provided on the carrier and is electrically connected to element (91) to connect tracks to electrical energy source. The substrate is bent so as to form a cylindrical housing (29) and is mounted on a carrier (27) near the top end surface. A permanent magnet unit that generates a magnetic field at the location of the conductor tracks is arranged in the upper half of the motor. An Independent claim is also included for the disc drive.
