Stator assembly for a brushless motor in a power tool

A power tool comprising:

• a housing;
• a motor housed inside the housing, the motor having a stator assembly and a rotor rotatably arranged inside the stator, the stator assembly comprising:
• a stator core defining a plurality of poles and having an outer surface that is substantially cylindrical formed around a longitudinal axis of the motor;
• at least one magnet wire wound on the plurality of poles forming a plurality of phases in a delta or a wye configuration;
• and
• a bus bar comprising:
• a non-conductive mount arranged on the outer surface of the lamination stack, and a plurality of conductive terminals arranged to receive electric power from a power source and supply electric power to the plurality of phases,
• wherein each conductive terminal includes:
• a main portion mounted on the non-conductive mount substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the motor, a tang portion folded over the main portion from a first longitudinal end of the main portion, and a connection tab at a second longitudinal end of the main portion, wherein at least a contact portion of the at least one magnet wire is wrapped around the tang portion and fused to make an electric connection to the conductive terminal, and the connection tab is arranged to makes electric contact with a wire supplying electric power to the motor.
