A MINIATURE MOTOR WITH AN INSTALLED EARTH TERMINAL

摘要

A miniature motor has an electrically-conductive case (1) with an internally mounted magnet (31), and an electrically non-conductive case cover holding brushgear (36). The case cover (7) is engaged with the motor case (1), with an earth terminal formed into an essentially U-shape with one leg held in contact with a brush terminal (5) of the motor, and the other leg (21) held between the cover (7) and the case (1). The distal end or tip (22) of the other leg of the earth terminal is plastically deformed into a groove (27) in the case cover (7), preferably by the bending over of a section (26) of the motor case (1).
