1. A sensor unit for a vehicle, comprising:

  • a connection cable;

    a sensor circuit that includes at least one sensor contact;

    a base body that supports the sensor circuit and that includes;

    a common contact carrier;

    at a first end a sensor-contacting arrangement that is disposed on the common contact carrier at a first end of the base body, and that has at least one sensor mating contact connected in an electrical manner to the at least one sensor contact; and

    a cable-contacting arrangement that is disposed on the common contact carrier at a second end of the base body, and that includes at least one cable contact connected in an electrical manner to the connection cable;

    wherein the sensor circuit is arranged at an end region of the common contact carrier such that the sensor circuit is oriented in a desired sensing direction; and

    wherein the sensing direction is predetermined via a bend angle of the end region of the common contact carrier with respect to a longitudinal axis of the base body; and

    a pot-shaped sheath that is fixed to the base body and that encases the sensor contacting arrangement and the sensor circuit, the shape of said pot-shaped sheath configured based on the sensing direction of the sensor circuit.
