Electric motor having an interconnection unit and method for manufacturing an electric motor having an interconnection unit

An electric motor, comprising:

• a rotor rotatable about an axis of rotation;
• and
• a stator including a plurality of coils and a plurality of stator segments, each coil including two coil terminals, each stator segment including a single coil, the coils being interconnected by an interconnection unit including a carrier part adapted to hold a plurality of interconnection elements set apart from each other, the interconnection elements including at least three first interconnection elements, each first interconnection elements including two contacting regions set apart from each other and a connecting region joined to the contacting regions, the contacting regions of each first interconnection element being connected to one of the coil terminals at a connecting point, a region covered by the connecting region of one of the first interconnection elements in circumferential and radial directions overlapping a region covered by the connecting region of another of the first interconnection elements in the circumferential and radial directions;
• wherein the first interconnection elements are identical.
