Abstract
A DC motor having a housing, a hub member rotatably supported by the housing, a flexible printed circuit board fixedly mounted on the housing, and an IC chip mounted on the flexible printed circuit board and located facing a recess formed in the housing. The hub member has a shaft rotatably supported by a bearing within the recess. The flexible printed circuit board has a metal layer for mounting the IC chip, the metal layer being isolated from a wiring pattern formed on the printed circuit board. The wiring pattern on the flexible printed circuit board is directly connected to a connection pin connected to the motor wiring.
