Abstract:
1. A motor assembly having improved electromagnetic noise filtering and dissipation for a vehicle, said assembly comprising: a motor having at least two terminals extending therefrom for connecting to a power source; a carrier having an upper surface and a lower surface with an outer periphery defining apertures for receiving said terminals of said motor; a first conductive region disposed on one of said upper and said lower surfaces and adjacent one of said apertures for electrically connecting to one of said terminals; a second conductive region disposed on one of said upper and said lower surfaces and adjacent said other of said apertures for electrically connecting to said other of said terminals; a grounding region extending about said carrier on one of said upper and said lower surfaces for grounding said carrier; a first non-conductive region insulating said first and said second conductive regions from said grounding region; a circuit extending across said first non-conductive region electrically connecting said first and said second conductive regions to said grounding region for filtering electromagnetic noise; an electrical ground positioned adjacent to and electrically connected to said carrier; and a biasing device urging said grounding region of said carrier into electrical connection with said electrical ground for dissipating electromagnetic noise generated by said motor to said electrical ground.
