Abstract
A motor includes a shaft, a bearing supporting the shaft, an armature disposed radially outward of the bearing, a bracket to which the bearing and the armature are fixed, and a rotor connected to the shaft. The bracket includes a bracket bottom portion covering a lower side of the armature, and a terminal holding portion extending radially outward from an outer peripheral portion of the bracket bottom portion. The terminal holding portion includes a plate-shaped holding portion main body connected to the outer peripheral portion of the bracket bottom portion, a terminal disposed on an upper surface of the holding portion main body, and a protrusion portion projecting downward from a lower surface of the holding portion main body at a same position in a radial direction as that of the terminal, or radially outward of the terminal.
