  • Publication number: 20210072046
    Abstract: A sensor device for a motor vehicle for detecting an operation by a user, including at least one capacitive sensor which has a sensor electrode, which is coupled to a control and evaluation circuit. The sensor electrode has a primary detection section which extends adjacent to a detection region into which a body part of a user is moved for operation purposes. The sensor electrode is accommodated in a housing which runs, in sections, between the sensor electrode and the detection region. The sensor electrode is provided, in the region of the primary detection section, for increasing the electrical field in sections, with recesses and/or openings which are delimited by edges, so that a length at the limiting edges, which length is increased in relation to a continuous electrode area, is present in the primary detection section.

  • Publication number: 20210032914
    Abstract: A motor vehicle door handle arrangement includes a handle support and an outer shell which is fastened to the handle support. At least one electronics assembly comprising electronic components is arranged between the handle support and the outer shell. The handle support has at least one first chamber for receiving electronic components which are potted with a potting compound after the electronic components are inserted. A second chamber for receiving electronic components is formed between the handle support and the outer shell and the handle support has at least one aperture through which the second chamber can be filled with potting compound after the outer shell is fastened to the handle support. A method for producing a motor vehicle door handle arrangement of this kind is disclosed.
