Abstract:
1. An electric motor comprising: a rotor fixedly mounted about a shaft; a stator having a bobbin, the stator being mounted about the rotor; a printed circuit board on which a plurality of electronic components are mounted, the printed circuit board including one connector configured to electrically connect the electronic components to a source of electrical energy, and at least a pair of conductors configured to electrically connect the electronic components to the stator to enable the stator to produce magnetic fields that rotate the rotor and the shaft; and a housing configured to cover the printed circuit board and at least a first portion of the stator, the housing having at least one opening to enable air from about a second portion of the stator to flow outside the housing and the housing overlapping the bobbin of the stator to prevent a flow of debris from about the first portion of the stator and the printed circuit board to the at least one opening in the housing.
