Spindle motor capable of positively fixing and securing conduction between a housing and a bracket, and a recording disk driving apparatus using the spindle motor. The bracket has a circular through hole, and the housing is fixedly inserted in the circular through hole. A protrusion is formed on at least one of the bracket and the housing. A conductive member is between and in contact with a flange and the bracket or the housing in the direction of the rotary axis to electrically connect the flange and the bracket or the housing. The conductive member is in contact with the flange and the bracket or the housing under an elastic stress.
