Abstract:
1. A motor for an electric power steering apparatus comprising: a terminal that serves to electrically connect a lead for introducing an electric current from outside and a stator coil with each other; a holder that holds said terminal; and a connector base having a connector base main body on which a lead-side connector side terminal portion of said terminal is provided, said lead-side connector side terminal portion extending in an axial direction; wherein said terminal is a single band-shaped conductive member that has, at its opposite ends, connector side terminal end portions, respectively, when developed in a planar configuration, and a plurality of stator side terminal portions protruding to one side of said band-shaped conductive member along a longitudinal direction thereof, wherein heads of said connector side terminal end portions protrude to said one side of said band-shaped conductive member; said terminal is caused to deform in a thickness direction into a circular shape, and said connector side terminal end portions being bent in the same plane are connected with each other to form said connector side terminal portion; and said connector side terminal portion is electrically connected to said lead, and said stator side terminal portions are electrically connected to said stator coil.
