An electric drive unit provides a simple and economical electrical connection of an electric motor and an electronic module. The commutator of the electric motor, a brush rocker ring arranged on the commutator, and the drive shaft of the electric motor as well as the carrier body of the electronic module are inserted into a transmission housing. In the transmission housing, the carrier body of the electronic module is positioned so that contact elements provided on the brush rocker ring engage into contact points provided on the carrier body of the electronic module. The electric drive unit can be used for window lifter drives.
