An arrangement of a NTC resistor in an electromagnet includes an electromagnetic coil comprising a main winding and a shunt winding, a coil carrier configured to have the electromagnetic coil be wound thereon, a first contact terminal and a second contact terminal configured to supply a voltage, a NTC resistor, a first contact lead comprising a first contact lead end, a second contact lead comprising a second contact lead end, and a third contact lead. The first contact lead, the second contact lead and the third contact lead are configured to interconnect the first contact terminal, the second contact terminal, the main winding, the shunt winding, and the NTC resistor. A fixing element is configured to be elastically deformable and to exert a spring force so as to fix the NTC resistor between the first contact lead end and the second contact lead end.
