Abstract: A power tool includes a housing including a motor case and a handle; a motor disposed within the motor case and having motor lead wires; a battery receiving portion provided on an end of the handle configured to receive a removable battery pack; a control unit configured to receive electric power form the battery pack and output power wires; and a wire guide and retention unit disposed within the handle. The wire guide and retention unit includes a main body and ring terminals fastened to the main body. The ring terminals couple with the motor lead wires on one end and with the power wires on another end.

Abstract: A control module for a high power motor includes a mounting frame made up of thermally-conductive material including a bottom wall and four side walls; a circuit board disposed within the side walls of the mounting frame; power switches configured as an inverter circuit oriented in two arrays mounted on opposite surfaces of the circuit board; an auxiliary circuit board extending substantially perpendicularly from the circuit board; capacitors mounted on the auxiliary circuit board with a long axis thereof extending parallel to the circuit board and away from the power switches; and connectors mounted between an edge of the circuit board and distal ends of the capacitors.
