Patent ID: 8400031

Claim:
An electrical connection for an electric motor having a motor housing with an interior in which a stator of the electric motor is accommodated, the electrical connection being connected to the stator via an electrical conductor in the form of a pin extending in an axial direction, that is routed from outside the housing into the housing interior via a housing opening, the electrical connection comprising a sleeve-shaped sealing element that is accommodated in a separate sealing sleeve which is mounted within the housing interior in a prestressed fashion between the stator and the housing of the electric motor, the sealing element being provided against an inner surface of the housing about the housing opening in order to seal the electrical conductor in relation to the housing opening, the sealing element having a circumferential collar with an outer diameter which is greater than the housing opening and overlaps the housing opening and a through opening through which the electric conductor extends, wherein at least one inner radial sealing lip which is situated on the sealing element in the through opening and which rests against a surface of the electric conductor seals the conductor in the through opening, and wherein at least one outer axial sealing lip which extends in the axial direction is embodied on the collar and rests against the inner surface of the housing to seal the sealing element in relation to the housing.
