Motor assembly method with an integrated flexible printed circuit

A method of assembling a motor comprising:

• obtaining a stator defining a plurality of stator teeth;
• obtaining a flexible printed circuit having an interconnect layer and a cover layer, the cover layer including a plurality of openings for exposing the interconnect layer;
• training a plurality of electrically conductive members around each of the stator teeth, each of the plurality of electrically conductive members individually circumscribing each stator tooth less than one complete revolution;
• and
• coupling each of the plurality of electrically conductive members with the interconnect layer to form a coil wound around each stator tooth.
