Contact unit

The contact unit preferably for a throttle valve housing of an internal combustion engine includes a contact plate (8) and a plug (4) for an actuating device. The contact plate has contact lugs (12) for contact with an electric motor and via strip conductors (13) lead out to the plug. The contact plate and the inner section (14) of the plug are plastic components commonly manufactured in an injection process and are interconnected merely through the strip conductors which are flexibly constructed.
