Electromagnetic interference suppressing DC interconnect

A DC motor comprising:

• a) a housing including means for generating a first magnetic field;
• b) first and second electrically conductive brushes mounted in said housing;
• c) a commutator rotatably mounted within the housing, said commutator having a plurality of conductive segments, each said segment for generating a second magnetic field responsive to a direct current passed therethrough, said first and second magnetic fields for cooperatively driving said commutator;
• d) each said conductive segment having first and second contacts for periodically contacting said first and second brushes for passing said direct current through each said segment as said commutator is rotated;
• and
• e) a flexible, unitary EMI suppressing interconnect, said EMI suppressing interconnect comprising a first conductive sheet having a conductive lead adapted for being connected to a positive terminal of a direct current source, and having a connector electrically connected to said first brush, said first conductive sheet disposed between a pair of electrically insulative sheets, a second conductive sheet having a conductive lead adapted for being connected to a negative terminal of the direct current source, and having a connector electrically connected to a negative terminal of the motor, said second conductive sheet disposed between a pair of electrically insulative sheets, and each said conductive sheet and its corresponding insulative sheets enveloping a portion of said motor housing.
