Abstract
An actuator device includes a drive motor, a reduction mechanism, which includes gears, an output shaft coupled to the reduction mechanism, and a connector assembly. The connector assembly includes a sensor accommodating portion for accommodating a sensor, which detects the rotation angle of the output shaft, and a connector portion, which includes connector pins connected to an external connector, and a power supply portion, which includes power supply terminals connected to the drive motor. The sensor accommodating portion, the connector portion, and the power supply portion are integrally formed. The power supply terminals and the connector pins are formed of a single conductive plate. The connector assembly is molded using resin to integrally incorporate the conductive plate. As a result, the actuator device that is easily assembled is obtained.
