Contact unit

A contact unit for assembling with a throttle flap support of an internal combustion machine, comprising:

• (a) a contact plate fastenable to a housing of the throttle flap support, wherein the contact plate comprises:
• i. bore holes formed therein, wherein a first bore hole is disposed for taking up a throttle flap shaft and a second bore hole is disposed for taking up a drive shaft when the contact unit is assembled with the throttle flap support of the internal combustion machine;
• and
• ii. first conductor tracks disposed to provide a first electrical connection between contact flags of a drive unit and a connection plug and a second electrical connection between contacts of a position sensor and the connection plug;
• (b) a cover defining a space sealed by the cover, wherein the contact plate is arranged in the space or delineates the space on one side;
• and
• (c) wherein the connection plug is attached to the cover and comprises a plug inner portion and a plug outer portion, wherein the inner portion extends through an opening formed in the cover, or in the housing of the throttle flap support, and abuts a bordering inner wall of the cover with a flange surface, and is fastened in this position by a second connection to the outer portion of the plug, wherein the contact plate and the plug inner portion are plastic parts produced together in an injection process so the contact plate and the plug inner portion are only connected to one another by second flexible conductor tracks.
