Abstract

It is intended to provide a stepper motor having windings which are easy to wind. Increase in size of the motor itself can be circumvented. First and second coil blocks 20 and 21, respectively, are formed by first and second annular bobbins 27 and 34, respectively, and by first and second annular yokes 28, 29, 35, 36. The bobbins have winding portions 25, 32 on which first and second exciting coils 26, 33, respectively, are wound. A magnet rotor 22 having a rotating shaft 41 mounted thereto is rotatably held in a gap 43 between the coaxial laminations of the coil blocks 20, 21. Connector terminals 37 and 38 consisting of first connection portions 37a, 38a and second connection portions 37b, 38b are buried in the annular bobbins 34 of the second coil block 21. The first connection portions 37a, 38a protrude from a flange 30 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 44. The second connection portions 37b, 38b extend from the winding portion 32 in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 44. Terminal ends 26a, 33a of the first and second exciting coils 26, 33 are electrically connected with the protruding ends of the first connection portions 37a, 38a. The protruding ends of the second connection portions 37b, 38b are electrically connected with a printed-wiring board (external electric apparatus) 45.
