Patent ID: 8063524

Claim:
A motor for driving a drum of a washing machine, the motor comprising: a stator having a stator core and an insulator provided to the stator core for winding a coil thereon, the stator core including an annular back yoke and T-shaped projections each projected outward in a radial direction from an outside circumference of the back yoke and the coil being wound on each of the T-shaped projections, the insulator including a fastening hole to fixedly secure the stator to a tub of the washing machine; a rotor rotatably provided with respect to the stator; a tap terminal provided to the insulator for positioning an end of the coil, wherein the coil includes a core wire of aluminum and the end of the coil is fastened to the tap terminal through a connector placed in the tap terminal such that the exposed core wire is connected to the connector electrically, wherein the end of the coil is electrically connected to the connector at the time the connector is placed in the tap terminal; and resin coated on the exposed core wire and the connector to prevent of corrosion of, and reinforce the exposed core wire.
