## Abstract

The present disclosure provides a motor including a stator, a rotor and a first circuit board. The stator includes a winding assembly including a plurality of coils. A conductive element is extended out from the winding assembly and is electrically connected to a first electrical connector. The first electrical connector penetrates through a pillow of the stator and is electrically connected to the first circuit board. The motor further includes a second circuit board electrically connected to the first circuit board, and a first insulation plate, a second insulation plate and a third insulation plate for fixing and protecting the circuit boards. The motor also includes a clip for fixing and heat dissipating an electronic component disposed on the second circuit board.

## Claims

### Claim 1
