1. A sensor device for an electrochemical energy store, the sensor device comprising:

  • a sensor housing;

    an electrical circuit and at least one sensor element disposed inside the sensor housing;

    a shared carrier element formed from an electrically conductive material, the shared carrier element having;

    at least one section disposed inside the sensor housing,a first exposed section disposed outside the sensor housing on one end of the at least one section of the shared carrier element, anda second exposed section disposed outside the sensor housing on an opposing end of the at least one section of the shared carrier element;

    a first terminal contact comprising the first exposed section of the shared carrier element for providing an electrically conductive connection of the sensor device to a first contact point of the electrochemical energy store, where a first terminal material on a surface of the first terminal contact is the same material as at least a first contact material on a surface of the first contact point; and

    a second terminal contact comprising the second exposed section of the shared carrier element for providing an electrically conductive connection of the sensor device to a second contact point of the electrochemical energy store, where a second terminal material on a surface of the second terminal contact is the same material as at least a second contact material on a surface of the second contact point,wherein the sensor device is configured to contact the first contact point and the second contact point of the electrochemical energy store which are situated inside a housing of the electrochemical energy store, andwherein the shared carrier element includes a lead frame formed of the electrically conductive material, and wherein the first exposed section is a first exposed section of the lead frame, and the second exposed section is a second exposed section of the lead frame.
