Abstract

The invention relates to an electric drive unit for adjustment systems in motor vehicles, more particularly for an electrically operated window winder. The electric drive unit comprises an electric motor, a gear unit into which the extended motor shaft of the electric motor projects, and a current unit with a plug or adequate solder spots. The current unit is designed as an intermediate rail for connecting the electric motor and gear housing. When using a commutator motor, the brush holder of the commutator motor is incorporated in the intermediate rail. The intermediate rail preferably forms a structurally uniform block with the plug, and, when additionally using an electronics unit, also with the electronics unit.
