It is considered that the wire cover is configured so as to be in a press-fitted state within the wire leading-out hole in order to prevent the wire cover from inclining within the wire leading-out hole. However, when the wire cover formed from a hard insulating resin is to be press-fitted into the wire leading-out hole, excessive force is applied to the entirety of the wire cover, and it is impossible to avoid damaging the wire cover. Therefore, in cases where a wire cover formed from a hard insulating resin is used, it is necessary to impart clearance in close fitting of the wire cover and the wire leading-out hole. However, when clearance is imparted in the close fitting of the wire cover and the wire leading-out hole, a space is formed between the wire leading-out hole and the wire cover, and it is impossible to prevent the wire cover from inclining within the wire leading-out hole. Therefore, it is difficult to impart high precision in the leading-out direction of the lead wires.

An object of the present invention is to provide an electric motor in which terminal portions of a magnet wire that constitutes a stator coil are used as lead wires, and the lead wires are caused to pass through an end member that closes one axial end of a motor housing and are led out linearly to an exterior, it being possible to impart high precision in a leading-out direction of the lead wires, and to reduce deviation in distal-end positions of the led out lead wires.
