Abstract: The present invention provides a motor that enables a lead of a coil to be appropriately led through holes, while allowing the lead of the coil to be fixed without contacting a wall surface of the hole in a base. Cuts 14b are formed in an insulating sheet or a printed circuit board 14; the cuts 14b extend substantially radially or spirally from a lead lead-out portion 14a as a center. Thus, even if an end of the lead 7a abuts against an area located outside the lead lead-out portion 14a, the abutting area and a nearby area located in the vicinity of the abutting area are pushed open along the cuts 14b extending from the lead lead-out portion 14a and guide the end of the lead 7a toward the lead lead-out portion 14a. The end of the lead 7a is thus appropriately guided into the lead lead-out portion 14a.
