Abstract: A motor stator having a salient pole magnetic core on which are wound coils of conductive wire incorporating an annular printed circuit board having a plurality of radially projecting terminals. The printed circuit board is secured directly to the projecting ends of the coils at one end of the core and the two wire ends of each coil are secured to pairs of adjacent terminals on the board. External electrical leads are then threaded through the core between the coils with one end of the respective leads electrically joined to terminals on the board.
