    Patent number: 7446383
    Abstract: The sensing device (100) comprises a first sensing element (10) having a reference plane (1), between which sensing element (10) and a contacting side (3) of the device (100) a predefined angle is present. Conductors couple the sensing element (10) to external contacting means (30). The sensing device (100) is further provided with a body (21), which encapsulates the first sensing element (10) and at the same time acts as a carrier for the conductors, so that the contacting side (3) is a face of the body (21). The sensing device (100) may contain more than one sensing element (10,20), which are by preference magneto-resistive sensors. It can be suitably manufactured in that parts (21A, 21B) of the body are rotated with respect to the contacting side (3), the parts (21A, 21B) of the body having complementary shapes.
