Abstract
A motor is provided including: a stator including a stator core, stator windings, and an end insulator; a rotor rotatably received within the stator; and stator terminals supported by the routing insulator and extending away from the stator. Each stator terminal includes a main body having a curved portion, a tang portion folded over the main body and receiving a portion of a magnet wire therein to make an electrical connection with at least one of the stator windings, and a terminal pin projecting axially away from the stator core. The stator core has a maximum diameter of less than or equal to approximately 34 mm defining an outer envelope of the stator, and the stator terminals are fully contained within the outer envelope.
