  • Patent number: 9029702
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a connection assembly for a sensor assembly having a connection element which is electrically and mechanically connected to one end of at least one wire of a connection cable in a first contacting region and can be electrically and mechanically connected to a sensor element in a second contacting region, wherein the connection element is at least partially enclosed by a plastic overmold which has a window-shaped recess in a transition region between the first contacting region and the second contacting region which is sealed in the injection molding die during the injection process of the plastic overmold and a corresponding sensor assembly. According to the disclosure, a positioning opening is arranged in the transition region such that the connection element can be positioned in the injection molding die and the transition region surrounding the positioning opening is sealed flat in the injection molding die to create the window-shaped recess.

  • Patent number: 8623254
    Abstract: A method for producing a magnetic field sensor for use in drive train of a motor vehicle includes encapsulating an electrical assembly and an end of a connecting cable via injection molding and integrally extruding a fastening tab. After a first injection step in which the electrical assembly and the connecting cable are encapsulated in a core-type first molded part, a second injection molding step in implemented in which a fastening tab is integrally formed via injection molding on the core-type insertion part in a specifiable longitudinal and/or angular position. The core-like insertion part is held in the injection mold in a longitudinally displaceable and/or rotatable manner.

  • Publication number: 20120210786
    Abstract: A sensor arrangement for a vehicle includes a sensor element and a connection cable at least partially encased with plastic by means of injection moulding in order to form a sensor housing. The sensor housing is connected to a fastening tab which comprises a base body having fastening means. The fastening tab includes an insertion sleeve which is connected to the base body and into which a sensor housing body of the sensor housing is inserted. The sensor housing and the insertion sleeve each comprise fixing means which are designed in such a manner that there are different angular positions for fixing the sensor housing and the fastening tab. The sensor housing and the fastening tab are fixed in one of the different angular positions with respect to one another.

  • Publication number: 20100207295
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing a magnetic field sensor (13), particularly a rotary speed and/or rotational direction sensor for the wheel rotation or for the drivetrain of a motor vehicle, wherein an electrical component (10) and the end of a connecting cable (28) are encapsulated in plastic (32) by injection molding, and a mounting tab (38) is injection molded. After a first injection process step, wherein the electrical component (10) and the connecting cable (28) are encapsulated in a core-like first molded part (30, 32), and a mounting tab (38) is injected onto the core-like insert (30) in a second injection process step in a longitudinal and/or angular position that can be prescribed. The core-like insert (30) is thereby longitudinally displaceably and/or rotatably held in the injection mold (46, 58), together with the connecting cable, whereby various positions of the insert (30) can be defined relative to the mounting tab (38).

  • Publication number: 20060193144
    Abstract: A side flashing lamp (1) for an external rear view mirror includes a lamp housing (2) with a light exit opening (3) extending from the vehicle side approximately horizontal towards the outside. At least one light guide (6, 7) extends over the light exit opening. The light of a light source (10, 11) is coupled into the vehicle end (8, 9) of the light guide and is propagated in the longitudinal direction. The portion of light arriving at the opposite end (12, 13) is emitted inclinedly rearwardly with respect to the direction of travel.

  • Patent number: 6637917
    Abstract: A side flashing lamp (4, 4′) for fitting in the cover cap (2) of an external rear view mirror (1) for motor vehicles, comprising a lamp housing having an elongate light exit opening (3) which in the installed condition extends from the outward side of the cover cap (2), which is remote from the vehicle, substantially horizontally towards the vehicle, at least one group of light sources (12) which are arranged distributed substantially uniformly along a line which in the installed condition extends substantially horizontally over the width of the light exit opening (3), and at least one optically active device (10) which focuses the light of the at least one group of light sources (12) in a main radiation direction which in the installed condition faces substantially in the direction of travel.

  • Publication number: 20020118548
    Abstract: A vehicle lamp, in particular a high-set brake lamp for motor vehicles, includes a plurality of light sources which are arranged in mutually juxtaposed relationship in a row which is substantially horizontal in the position of installation. Associated with each light source is a part-parabolic reflector and the light source is arranged in laterally displaced relationship with respect to its associated reflector in such a way that the light directly emitted thereby is radiated inclined from below into the reflector and is emitted therefrom outwardly through a light exit cover. In order to comply with modern design demands and to make it possible to impose on the light issuing from the lamp a selectable distribution the light exit cover is in the form of an optically inactive component and the reflective surface of each reflector has an optically operative structure which deflects the reflected light with a desired distribution into predeterminable angular regions.
