Dc motor for driving assemblies of a motor vehicle

A DC motor for driving components of a motor vehicle, the DC motor comprising:

• a stator;
• a rotor;
• a housing configured to radially surround the stator and the rotor, the housing being produced from an electrically conductive material;
• a drive shaft;
• an end plate arranged to be axially bound to the DC motor, the end plate comprising a center configured to have the drive shaft project there-through, and two connection contacts projecting therefrom, the two connection contacts being configured to supply a voltage to the DC motor, the end plate being produced from an electrically non-conductive material;
• electronic components configured to provide an interference-suppression;
• a printed circuit board configured to have the electronic components be arranged thereon, the printed circuit board comprising conductor paths, a central opening configured so that the drive shaft projects there-through, and two plug-through openings configured so that the two connection contacts project there-through;
• and
• an earth connection device configured to produce an earth connection of the printed circuit board, the earth connection device being provided as a metal sheet arranged axially between the printed circuit board and the end plate, the metal sheet comprising a first contact element configured to connect to the housing, and a second contact element configured to connect to the conductor paths of the printed circuit board.
