Abstract

A spring clamp for plugging onto an electrical conductor of an electric machine, having a first spring leg and a second spring leg adjoining the first spring leg. The spring legs are arranged and/or formed with respect to one another in such a way that a receiving opening for receiving the electrical conductor is formed between a free first end portion of the first spring leg and a free second end portion of the second spring leg, and the conductor is clamped between the first end portion and the second end portion. The second spring leg has a sensor holder and a spring arm with a press-on tab, a spring force is exerted by way of the spring arm such that a sensor arranged in the sensor holder is fixed in the sensor holder by way of the press-on tab, and the sensor holder is pressed onto the electrical conductor.
