Abstract

A commutator includes a first body and a second body which are separately made of electrically insulating material, a plurality of commutator segments fixed on an outer surface of the first body and a plurality of commutator terminals. The first body is a hollow cylinder with two opposite ends. Each terminal has a contact area for contacting a corresponding one of the commutator segments. The second body has a base and a ring wall extending from the base, and one end of the first body is received in a space defined by the base and the ring wall, with the contact area of each terminal being in tight contact with the corresponding commutator segment at the inner side of the ring wall.
