Abstract: A circuit connection apparatus has a connector including a housing in which a connection terminal is contained, a positioning guide portion provided therein at an opposite side to an opening portion of the housing, and a press-fit terminal extended from the connection terminal. Moreover, the circuit connection apparatus has a heat sink that includes a guide receipt portion fitted with the positioning guide portion—and an opening to be penetrated by the press-fit terminal and to which the housing is fixed. Furthermore, the circuit connection apparatus has a circuit board that includes a board positioning guide portion and a through-hole to which the press-fit terminal is pressure-bonded and that is fixed to the heat sink. Because the press-fit terminal and the through-hole can accurately be positioned, it is made possible that the reliability is raised and a simple assembly process suppresses the production cost from rising.

Abstract: A base portion of a magnet holder attached to a rotor core of a rotor has a press-fit pin press-fitted into a press-fit hole provided at an end surface of the rotor core. An arm portion of the magnet holder has a holder rib which protrudes inward in the radial direction of an output shaft and of which one end surface in the circumferential direction serves as a pressing surface, and a come-off prevention protrusion inserted into an insertion groove provided at an outer circumferential surface of the rotor core. Magnets are located between the rotor core and the magnet holders, one end surface in the circumferential direction of each magnet contacts with the pressing surface, and another end surface contacts with a core rib protruding from the rotor core.

Abstract: This rotating electrical machine includes: a rotor formed from stacked steel sheets and fixed to a rotary shaft; a plurality of magnets arranged on the outer circumference of the rotor along the circumferential direction; and the same number of holders as the magnets, the holders being arranged between the magnets. The holder is press-fitted and fixed into the rotor by a press-fit portion extending in the radial direction of the rotary shaft. One circumferential-direction side of the magnet is positioned by the rotor, and another side is pressed in the circumferential direction by the holder. Both circumferential-direction ends of the magnet are pressed in the radial direction by the holders. Such a configuration provides a rotating electrical machine that enables a magnet to be accurately fixed to a rotor through simple work, at low cost.
