Abstract

A central electrical assembly with an electrical or electronics unit is specified, which can be used in particular for motor vehicles; the central electrical assembly being of modular construction. A contact supporting body forming one module and being used to accommodate contacts or plugs with contacts which produce the connection between electrical cables and the central electrical assembly, a relay and fuse box being another module, having at least one conductor track level and plug-in slots for accommodating electrical devices, the relay and fuse box and the electrical or electronics unit being connectable with a central lifting screw to the contact supporting body in such a manner that the connections are produced between the electrical cables and the central electrical assembly, in particular the conductor track levels and the plug-in slots.
