Summary:A combined commutator brush retainer clip and electrical connector includes a main body portion (22) and a terminal portion (23). The main body portion has a recessed portion (28) with a plurality of dimples (32) therein. A commutator brush (16) is electrically connected to a brush holder sleeve (18), and the brush holder sleeve is, in turn, clampingly engaged to the commutator housing (12) with the retainer (20). The brush holder sleeve is disposed within the recessed portion of the retaining clip and is frictionally engaged by the dimples. The terminal portion of the retainer engages a corresponding terminal member (40) on the motor stator (11) such than an electrical connection is established between said commutator brush and said stator by way of said retainer.
