Drive device having a brushless electric motor

A drive apparatus, comprising:

• a brushless electric motor containing a rotor, a rotor shaft connected to said rotor, and a stator having a stator carrier being a bush-shaped or hollow-cylindrical stator carrier and a winding, being a rotary field winding or a stator winding, with a plurality of phase connection wires;
• a gear mechanism housing having an electronic compartment and a printed circuit board with connection locations being received or introduced in said electronic compartment, said gear mechanism housing further having a housing shaft being coaxial with respect to a rotation axis of said rotor shaft and in said gear mechanism housing said stator with said stator carrier and said rotor with said rotor shaft being received or inserted;
• a connection adapter in which said phase connection wires are orientated radially and being received in a connection grid which is adapted to said connection locations of said printed circuit board, said connection adapter having:
• a plurality of hole-shaped or slot-shaped wire openings;
• and/or
• said connection adapter having a plurality of wire openings disposed in a connection grid orientated tangentially and radially spaced apart from said stator carrier;
• and/or
• said connection adapter having a plurality of slot-shaped wire openings, which are disposed along a circular arc with a central angle between 100° and 180°;
• said connection adapter further containing a clamping ring having a radial annular portion with an annular opening formed therein for said stator carrier and with recesses formed therein for said phase connection wires and an axial annular portion formed on said radial annular portion and directed toward said stator;
• and/or
• said connection adapter having two mutually joinable or joined half-rings.
