Die Sensorbauteile werden meist vom Hersteller an einen Zulieferer geliefert, bei dem die weitere Verarbeitung zum einbaufertigen Sensormodul erfolgt. Dabei wird das Sensorbauteil ggf. zusa - men mit den passiven und aktiven Elektronikbauteilen inSensors or groups of sensors for mobile applications, such as those provided for example in motor vehicles, must be provided with a sensor housing in order to protect sensitive sensor components. This sensor housing is typically often made of plastic. In addition, such sensors are often coupled to further passive or active electronic components, which are typically arranged spatially separate from the sensor component itself. The sensor components are usually delivered from the manufacturer to a supplier, where they are further processed into a ready-to-install sensor module. The sensor component may be combined with the passive and active electronic components in

Hall-Geber in Frage, die aus einer Hall-Spule und einer zugehörigen Auswerteschaltung bestehen.So-called Hall sensors, which consist of a Hall coil and an associated evaluation circuit, may be considered as such sensor components for the sensor modules mentioned.

Ein Ziel der Erfindung besteht darin, ein integriertes Sensormodul zur Verfügung zu stellen, das gut gegen mechanische Einwirkungen geschützt ist und das sich leicht montieren und demontieren lässt.An object of the invention is to provide an integrated sensor module that is well protected against mechanical influences and that is easy to assemble and disassemble.

Dieses Ziel der Erfindung wird mit dem Gegenstand der unabhängigen Ansprüche erreicht. Merkmale vorteilhafter Weiter- bildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen.This object of the invention is achieved with the subject matter of the independent claims.

Erfindungsgemäß umfasst ein integriertes Sensormodul mit ei- nem elektronischen Sensorbauteil, das von einem Sensorgehäuse umschlossen ist, ein mit dem Sensorgehäuse fest verbundenes Steckergehäuse zur Aufnahme von aktiven und/oder passiven e- lektronischen Bauteilen.

Der Sensor kann bei dieser alternativen Bauform besonders nahe an seinem vorgesehenen Einbauort montiert werden, ohne dass die Steckkontakte bzw. das Steckergehäuse bei engem Einbauraum im Wege stehen würden. Ggf. kann am Sensorgehäuse und/oder am Steckergehäuse eine Montageöse oder dgl . vorgesehen sein, die eine Ver- schraubung der Bauteile am Einbauort ermöglicht. Das Steckergehäuse kann dabei besonders stabil mit den Verbindungskon- takten verbunden werden, was auch eine grobe Handhabung unter Werkstattbedingungen zuläßt.According to a first embodiment of the invention, the sensor housing and the connector housing adjoin one another directly, which leads to a particularly compact design. An alternative embodiment of the invention provides that the sensor housing and the plug housing are arranged at a distance from one another and are connected to one another by means of self-supporting, flat connecting contacts. With this alternative design, the sensor can be mounted particularly close to its intended installation location, without the plug contacts or the connector housing being in the way when the installation space is tight.

In this way, large series of so-called benefits of sensor modules can be produced in very short clock cycles and then separated into individual sensor modules, for example. by mechanical sawing processes or by laser or water jet cutting or the like.

Die Kontaktanschlüsse sind Teil des Steckergehäuses und werden als sogenannter Leadframe gehandhabt. Die Gehäuse können im herkömmlichen Transfermold-Verfahren hergestellt werden. Das Steckergehäuse und die Kontaktanschlüsse können je nach gewünschtem Anwendungsfall speziell an Kundenanforderungen angepasst werden.
