A sensor holder for an electrical motor controller. The sensor holder is configured for holding a sensor relative to a printed circuit board of an electrical motor controller. The sensor holder includes a body having a first side and a second side; and a retainer coupled to the first side and extending away from the first side and comprising a base coupled to the first side. Furthermore, the sensor holder includes an arm coupled to the base and extending away from the base wherein the base and arm are configured to receive the sensor. A spacer is coupled to the first side and configured to form a space between the sensor and the first side. Moreover, a support is coupled to the body and extending away from the body and coupled to the printed circuit board to position the retainer and the received sensor away from the printed circuit board.
