Abstract: A method for producing a magnetic field sensor for use in drive train of a motor vehicle includes encapsulating an electrical assembly and an end of a connecting cable via injection molding and integrally extruding a fastening tab. After a first injection step in which the electrical assembly and the connecting cable are encapsulated in a core-type first molded part, a second injection molding step in implemented in which a fastening tab is integrally formed via injection molding on the core-type insertion part in a specifiable longitudinal and/or angular position. The core-like insertion part is held in the injection mold in a longitudinally displaceable and/or rotatable manner.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing a magnetic field sensor (13), particularly a rotary speed and/or rotational direction sensor for the wheel rotation or for the drivetrain of a motor vehicle, wherein an electrical component (10) and the end of a connecting cable (28) are encapsulated in plastic (32) by injection molding, and a mounting tab (38) is injection molded. After a first injection process step, wherein the electrical component (10) and the connecting cable (28) are encapsulated in a core-like first molded part (30, 32), and a mounting tab (38) is injected onto the core-like insert (30) in a second injection process step in a longitudinal and/or angular position that can be prescribed. The core-like insert (30) is thereby longitudinally displaceably and/or rotatably held in the injection mold (46, 58), together with the connecting cable, whereby various positions of the insert (30) can be defined relative to the mounting tab (38).
