Abstract

Power tools described herein include a housing, a brushless direct current (DC) motor, a non-conductive terminal mount, and a plurality of terminals. The housing has a motor housing portion, a handle portion, and a battery pack interface. The brushless DC motor is located within the motor housing portion and has a rotor and a stator. The non-conductive terminal mount is located on an outer peripheral surface of the stator and includes an angled surface. The angled surface is not substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the motor. The plurality of terminals is mounted on the angled surface of the terminal mount. Each of the terminals is angled in a first direction such that the terminals are not substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the motor.
