SENSOR APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A SENSOR APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A sensor apparatus, comprising:
- a sensor device having a plurality of electrical contacts;
a housing having a plurality of sidewalls;
a metal carrier structure, which extends into the housing in a manner passing through two mutually opposite sidewalls from the plurality of sidewalls;
wherein the metal carrier structure is embodied in a resilient fashion at least in the direction of a sidewall through which the metal carrier structure extends; and
wherein the sensor device having the plurality of electrical contacts is mounted in a resilient fashion on the metal carrier structure and is electrically conductively connected to the metal carrier structure by the plurality of contacts.

12. A method for producing a sensor apparatus, the method comprising:
-
arranging a spacer above a metal carrier structure; forming a housing around a part of the metal carrier structure and the spacer in such a way that the metal carrier structure extends into the housing in a manner passing through two mutually opposite sidewalls from the plurality of sidewalls, wherein the metal carrier structure is embodied in a resilient fashion at least in the direction of a sidewall through which the metal carrier structure extends; resiliently mounting a sensor device, which has a plurality of electrical contacts, on the metal carrier structure by the electrical contacts; and electrically conductively connecting the sensor device to the metal carrier structure by the plurality of contacts. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
