  • PROXIMITY SWITCH AND METHOD FOR CONTACTING A SENSOR PCB
    Publication number: 20090203269
    Abstract: A proximity sensor (1) including a PCB (10) which contains the sensor electronics, a sensor element and a sensor interface. The electric connections between the PCB (10) and the sensor interface and/or the sensor element are established by plug-in contacts. Preferably, contact elements (21) having bifurcated arms (25) and contact blades (27) are configured on the sensor housing, and the PCB (10) is inserted between the bifurcated arms (25) in such a way that the contact blades (27) establish an electrical connection with contact surfaces (53) on the PCB (10).
