Abstract: A stator for an electrical machine includes a plurality of coils arranged on a stator yoke, each coil having a pair of ends; a plurality of linking conductors which are electrically insulated from each other, each conductor having a terminal element electrically connected to two ends of two adjacent coils; and a support structure mounted on the stator yoke, the support structure having a receiving channel which holds the linking conductors and a wiring channel into which the terminal elements and the ends of the coils project. The terminal elements and the ends of the coils are electrically connected by conductor bridge elements arranged serially in the wiring channel.
