The electrical heating element has coils with a flat ribbon geometry. The coil has an inner diameter, an outer diameter, and a spacing between adjacent coils. The coils are shaped such that a flat side runs parallel to the coil axis. The compacted electrically insulating material is either a compacted granulate made from granulate grains of different sizes with edges and protrusions or components of a molded part produced during the compaction of the molded part. A surface of the coil has sections in which granulate grains or components of the molded part produced during the compaction of the molded part, under local deformation of the electrical heating element, are pressed at least partially into the electrical heating element.
