Provided is a motor including a shaft; two rotors attached to the shaft and spaced from each other in an axial direction by a predetermined distance; a stator arranged between the two rotors; a busbar unit arranged on one axial side of at least one of the two rotors, and arranged to hold a busbar; and a housing arranged to hold the stator and house the two rotors therein. The stator includes a plurality of cores arranged in a circumferential direction, and coils wound around the cores. A lead wire drawn out from the coils is arranged to extend, radially outside of the one of the rotors, from the corresponding core to a position on the one axial side of the one of the rotors, and is connected to the busbar at the position. The busbar unit is housed in the housing.

A fan assembly having a reduced dimension formed by several modifications is described. The fan assembly includes a stator having stator coils positioned within a recessed portion of a pillow that receives the motor. The stator may include wire connections positioned between adjacent stator coils and designed to terminate wires of the stator coils. The wire terminations may be on a protrusion or a post positioned between adjacent stator coils, or alternatively, the wire terminations may be disposed on protruding features of a bushing.
