Abstract

An electric motor, in particular a wiper motor for driving a windshield wiper system in a motor vehicle, which comprises a gear housing including a cover and several plug contacts, of which some are fixed on the gear housing, in particular on the cover, and at least another is connected with a motor current supply lead and fitted in a plug housing. In order to provide good protection of the plug contacts and the gear housing interior against dirt, the plug housing has an opening with a circumferential rim, through which the plug contacts fixed on the gear housing enter the plug housing. Furthermore the plug housing rests firmly against the gear housing around the opening.
