Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sensor for a motor vehicle. The method includes the steps of placing leads on a support, positioning a mold, injecting overmolding material into the mold so as to obtain a sealing housing comprising a body and a hatch, the hatch being formed adjacently to the belt in the plane of the lower face of the body by being connected to the joining lateral face by at least one portion of overmolding material, called “connecting portion”, removing the mold, applying a force to the hatch in order to insert it by sliding and close the lower face of the sealing housing, filling the internal space of the sealing housing with a sealing gel in order to seal the leads, and externally overmolding the entire sensor.

Abstract: A method for roughening a surface of a body by a laser, the laser acting on the surface of a body and thereby creating recesses in the surface, and the laser thereby being directed and guided onto the surface and set in terms of its power output in such a way that recesses with at least two substantially different depths are created in the surface of the body.

Abstract: A sensor element for a motor vehicle, includes a sensor circuit for detecting a physical variable, a first housing, in which the sensor circuit is arranged, a second housing, in which the first housing is arranged, a thermoplastic, which at least partially encloses the first housing and fixes the first housing in the second housing in a positioning position, at least two positioning recesses for receiving positioning pins being formed in the first housing in order to fix the first housing in the positioning position while the first housing is being enveloped by the thermoplastic.

Abstract: A sensor for outputting an electrical signal on the basis of a detected physical variable, including: a measuring circuit accommodated in a circuit housing and capable of contacting an external circuit by an electric signal connection; and a protective body consisting of a protective compound with an opening, the compound surrounding the circuit housing and the opening exposing part of the circuit housing. The surface of the circuit housing has a moulded element which is surrounded by the protective compound.
