A rotary apparatus comprising:
- a motor including a motor terminal;
- a plurality of gears;
- a sensor configured to detect a rotation angle of one of the plurality of gears;
- and
- a flexible wiring board, wherein
- the sensor includes a first connection terminal electrically connecting to the outside, and a base portion,
- the first connection terminal is disposed at the base portion,
- a second connection terminal electrically connecting the motor is disposed at the base portion, the second connection terminal including a connection portion extending in a direction away from the base portion,
- the flexible wiring board electrically connects with the motor terminal and the second connection terminal,
- the flexible wiring board includes:
- one end surface connected to the connection portion of the second connection terminal;
- other end surface connected to the motor;
- and
- an intermediate surface connecting the one end surface to the other end surface,
- the intermediate surface having a replicated portion,
- the replicated portion is interposed between the second connection terminal and the motor terminal,
