US Patent 7498702 Motor and bus bar

A bus bar secured to a stator in an electric motor in a preferred embodiment according to the invention includes four wiring boards, which are arranged perpendicularly to a center axis at intervals in a direction toward the center axis, and a resin portion for covering the surroundings of the four wiring boards by injection molding. Resin passing holes, through which a resin flows when the resin portion is molded, are formed at each of the wiring boards. When the bus bar is molded, the resin is injected into a resin molding die in a state in which the four wiring boards are supported by supporting pins disposed inside of the die. The resin flows to and fro between a space defined between the die and the wiring board and a space defined between the adjacent wiring boards.
