Abstract:
1. A stator for an electric machine having a central axis, the stator comprising: a stator yoke arranged concentrically around the axis; a plurality of stator teeth arranged circumferentially around the stator yoke and extending radially from the stator yoke; a plurality of coils arranged around respective said stator teeth, each said coil having a pair of axially extending coil terminals; an electrically insulating carrier member arranged adjacent to the coils and configured to form an open annular space, the carrier member having a base area which radially overlaps the coils, the base area having apertures which receive respective coil terminals therethrough; and a plurality of annular connection conductors arranged concentrically in said carrier member and electrically insulated from each other, the connection conductors being connected to the coil terminals in a predetermined manner in the open annular space, wherein the coil terminals project axially through the apertures into the open annular space and are bent radially inside the connection area so that they intersect with respective annular connection conductors and are configured to be connected by terminal areas projecting from the respective annular connection conductors.
