  • Patent number: 11536594
    Abstract: A sensor component for a transmission of a motor vehicle is provided. The sensor component includes a printed circuit board having a first printed circuit board region and a second printed circuit board region. The first printed circuit board region is delimited from the second printed circuit board region by a milled groove and is angled with respect to the second printed circuit board region along the milled groove. A sensor, such as a magnetoresistive sensor or a Hall sensor, is arranged in or on the first printed circuit board region. A pre-assembly arrangement and a method for producing such a sensor component are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11092514
    Abstract: A sensor dome arrangement has a sensor dome and a housing wall, which is particularly a transmission wall. The sensor dome includes a sensor, dome contacts which are electrically connected to the sensor, and a dome housing. The dome housing has a first dome housing section in which the sensor is arranged, and a second dome housing section on or in which the dome contacts are arranged. A through-opening is made in the housing wall, and the sensor dome is attached to the housing wall such that at least one outer surface of the first dome housing section faces a first chamber which is adjacent to the sensor dome and an inner side of the housing wall, and such that the dome contacts face a second chamber which is adjacent to the sensor dome and an outer side of the housing wall.
