Claim Text:
1. A motor comprising: a motor unit including a rotation shaft and a power terminal, the rotation shaft defining a motor axis and a motor axis direction; a gear housing coupled to the motor unit, wherein the gear housing accommodating a deceleration mechanism that decelerates and outputs rotation of the rotation shaft; and a connector module including an electrically-conductive connector terminal electrically connected to the power terminal, a circuit substrate connected to the connector terminal, and a connector housing coupled to the gear housing, wherein the connector terminal and the circuit substrate are fixed to the connector housing, wherein the power terminal is positioned in, and electrically connected to, an electrical socket of the connector terminal, the socket extending in a planar direction, the planar direction being orthogonal to the motor axis direction, the connector terminal includes a fixed portion in direct contact with, and fixed to, the connector housing, a substrate connecting portion connected to the circuit substrate, and a supported portion located closer to the socket than the substrate connecting portion in the planar direction, wherein the fixed portion is located closer to the socket than the substrate connecting portion in the planar direction, and the supported portion is located closer to the socket than the fixed portion in the planar direction and extends orthogonally to the socket in the motor axis direction, and the connector housing includes a terminal supporting portion that supports the supported portion in the planar direction, such that the supported portion is between the terminal supporting portion and the socket.
