Patent attributes
A stator of an electric motor is provided. The stator includes a plurality of segments, each of the segments including a tooth having a magnetically-permeable material, an electric coil surrounding the tooth, and at least one insulator. The stator also includes a plurality of connectors, each connector including first and second terminals, the first terminal adapted to be inserted into the at least one insulator and to couple to the electric coil of each of the plurality of segments and a circuit board coupled to input power lines and including apertures adapted to receive the second terminals of the plurality of connectors. The circuit board is coupled to the electric coils of each of the plurality of segments via when the second terminals are received in the apertures.
