Claim 15:
16. A motor comprising:
a stator including a stator core and a plurality of stator windings;
a rotor rotatably received within the stator and including a rotor shaft extending along a longitudinal axis and a plurality of permanent magnets;
a routing insulator mounted on the stator core and including an annular body and plurality of inwardly-projecting teeth configured to electrically insulate the stator core from the plurality of stator windings; and
a plurality of stator terminals mounted on the routing insulator, each stator terminal including a main body extending over the annular body of the routing insulator at an angular width of approximately at least 33 degrees relative to a center of the stator core along a circumferential direction, a tang portion folded over the main body to receive a portion of a magnet wire therein to make an electrical connection with at least one of the stator windings, and a terminal pin extending axially in a direction away from the stator core;
wherein the stator terminals are fully contained within an outer envelope of the stator defined by an outer circumferential surface of the stator core, and
wherein the main body of each stator terminal includes a first portion and a second portion, wherein, from an axial viewpoint, the first portion is radially outward of a gap formed between adjacent inwardly-projecting teeth of the routing insulator, and the second portion is radially aligned with a first stator winding of the plurality of stator windings that is adjacent the gap.
