I'm making a PCB that's required to be pretty compact. In order to reduce overall size, I need to keep a 2-wire DC motor as close to a PCB as possible.

It has standard tabs on the back, typically for soldering wires to. I've been looking all over for ways to solder a DC motor directly to a PCB. Unfortunately. what makes this more difficult is that the motor needs to lie parallel with the board, not perpendicular, and it sits at the edge of the board: enter image description here

I've looked at some terminal blocks and crimp connectors to plug the wires into, but preferably the motor sits right up against the PCB, and either gets soldered on or the metal tabs just plug in.

Please let me know your thoughts! Thanks.

Keystone 3557 looks like a possible PCB mount recptacle for the motor tabs.
