  • Signal transmitter for a fill level sensor of a container of a motor vehicle, and method for producing a signal transmitter for a fill level sensor of a container of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 11867551
    Abstract: A signal transmitter for a fill level sensor, a conductor path arrangement is printed on a resistor arrangement. The resistor arrangement is located below a slideway and is accessible between conductor path sections for trimming of the resistor. The signal transmitter is of particularly compact configuration and can be produced at low cost.
    Type: Grant

  • Carrier substrate with a resistor track
    Patent number: 6483421
    Abstract: A carrier substrate has a resistor track for a slider of a level sensor. The resistor track comprises numerous metal strips which are aligned transversely with respect to the main direction in which said resistor track extends and run at a distance from one another. Regions of metal strips have extensions toward one side of the resistor track which are bridged by an adjusting resistor. The adjusting resistor is designed for isolating resistor regions by cuts running transversely with respect to the extensions.
