Externally excited electric machine, motor vehicle, and method for producing an externally excited electric machine

A method for producing an externally excited electric machine, the method comprising:

• electrically connecting an exciter power circuit to at least one rotor winding;
• electrically connecting a stator power circuit to at least one stator winding;
• electrically connecting an exciter control circuit by at least a first connector to the exciter power circuit;
• electrically connecting a stator control circuit by at least a second connector to the stator power circuit;
• mounting the exciter control circuit and the stator control circuit on a common circuit board;
• electrically connecting the first connector to a first electrical contact of the exciter power circuit;
• and
• electrically connecting the second connector to a second electrical contact of the stator power circuit,
• wherein the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact are situated at different heights in relation to the circuit board, and
• wherein the first connector or the second connector has a geometrical form that bridges over a height difference between the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact.
