Abstract

A contact unit described includes a contact plate and a connection plug 4 for an adjusting device. A position sensor is disposed on the contact plate whose electrical contact results over conductor tracks 13 molded into the contact plate. The contact plate 8 further includes contact flags 12 for contacting an electromotor, wherein the contact flags 12 are led outside to a plug 4 over conductor tracks that are injected into the contact plate 8. All conductor tracks are led in a fixed position with respect to one another in a plug inner portion 14, wherein this plug inner portion is produced in one injection process with the contact plate 8, and connection between the contact plate 8 and the plug inner portion results only through the conductor tracks 13.
