Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a proximity switch, in which the molding of the electronic components with a plastic compound results in a molded body whose external dimensions correspond to the internal dimensions of a housing and the molded part is inserted into the housing and connected with it. To reduce production tolerances it is proposed that, before the molding with the plastic compound, a sensor head and a switching plate are connected mechanically to one another, so that they can move with respect to one another, by means of essentially flexible electric lines, that these two parts are inserted into an injection casting form, that they are held or brought there by means of fixer elements in a firm, predetermined position to one another and to the wall of the injection casting form, and that they are molded in this fixed position.

Abstract: A connector element of an electrical plug-in connection with a contact carrier (1) has one or more electrical contacts, and a w screw sleeve (2) which is rotatably associated with the contact carrier (1). A radially protruding thread engagement projection (3) enters into a fastening thread (4) of a mating connector element (5). The thread engagement projection (3) is associated with the screw sleeve (2) in such a way that it can yield elastically in the radial direction such that, after sliding over the thread ribs (4?) of the fastening thread (4), it can be driven by a drive bevel (6, 10) of the connector element into the thread groove (4?).
