Abstract
An actuator is shown and described. The actuator includes a brushed DC motor and a circuit board. The circuit board for the brushed DC motor includes an EMI reduction circuit and a mounting location for the brushed DC motor. The mounting location includes a resilient conductive member that is surface mounted on the circuit board at the mounting location. When the motor is mounted to the circuit board at the mounting location, the motor case contacts and at least slightly compresses the resilient conductive member, conductively connecting the motor case to the EMI reduction circuit.
