  • Publication number: 20230067747
    Abstract: A device for accommodating a component in an interior space has a housing comprising a housing wall delimiting the interior space of the housing, and a passage portion in the wall. The component comprises a sensing element with an actuating portion, and a holding portion mechanically connected to said actuating portion and has at least one latching hook with a latching lug. The component has a holder with a latching edge. When the component is accommodated in the interior space, the actuating portion, in a first state, is arranged in the passage portion, and, to reach a second state with the actuating portion in the interior space, is displaceable into the interior space so the latching lug of the latching hook engages over the latching edge. The latching connection so created prevents the actuating portion from being displaced in the direction of the passage portion, and enables damage-free removal.
