Abstract:
1. A small electric motor, particularly a claw pole motor, comprising: a housing; a stator having at least two stator windings and one pole tooth rim per stator winding; a rotor with a rotational axis; a flexible conductor foil for electrical connection of the stator windings, wherein said conductor foil includes winding connection contacts, external connection contacts and conductor paths between the winding connection contacts and the external connection contacts, and wherein taps of the stator windings electrically contact the winding connection contacts, the conductor foil being configured as an elongated strip having at least two connection portions arranged in spaced-apart relationship with each other and including the winding connection contacts, wherein the connection portions are arranged at different positions in an axial direction of the small electric motor, each serving for electrical connection of different stator windings, a connection portion of the conductor foil being arranged in the axial direction at one side of each pole tooth rim and a stator winding being arranged at another side of the pole tooth rim with the taps of the stator winding being passed through openings of the pole tooth rim to the side of an associated connection portion.
