Electric motor having SMD components and associated connection component

An electric motor comprising:

• a support (6) having recesses or chambers;
• a plurality of SMD components (5) arranged in the recesses or chambers of the support (6);
• an electrically conductive housing part;
• a connection part connecting the SMD components (5) to the electrically conductive housing part, the connection part being configured as a contact spring (10) clamped on the support (6), and the connection part electrically connecting the plurality of SMD components (5) to the electrically conductive housing part, the contact spring (10) having:
• a main section (1),
• a resilient connection section, which extends from a first side of the main section (1), for contacting the SMD components (5), and
• at least one resilient contact section (3), which extends from a second side of the main section (1), for electrical connection to the electrically conductive housing part,
• wherein the resilient connection section of the contact spring (10) comprises a plurality of contact fingers (2) for contacting respective ones of the SMD components (5), which contact fingers (2) engage into the individual recesses or chambers of the support (6) and come into contact with the SMD components (5) arranged in the recesses or chambers,
• wherein the at least one resilient contact section (3) comprises two legs extending on the second side of the main section (1), the two legs each having a fixing clamp (7), each of which, when the contact spring (10) is located on the support (6), digs into the support (6) to affix the contact spring (10) to the support (6), and
• wherein each leg of the at least one resilient contact section (3) has divided first and second finger-shaped sections (4), each first finger-shaped portion being contoured so as to contact the electrically conductive housing part, and each second finger-shaped portion being contoured to contact the support (6).
