  • Patent number: 10809108
    Abstract: A sensor is provided for determining at least one parameter of a fluid medium flowing through a measurement channel, in particular an intake air mass flow of an internal combustion engine. The sensor has a sensor housing, in particular a plug-in sensor that is inserted into or is insertable into a flow tube, in which sensor a measurement channel is fashioned, and has at least one sensor chip situated in the measurement channel for determining the parameter of the fluid medium. The sensor housing has an electronics compartment for accommodating an electronics module and has an electronics compartment cover for closing the electronics compartment. The electronics compartment cover has, at least in part, electrically conductive properties. For example, the electronics compartment cover is placed onto the electrical ground of the sensor and, viewed in projection, partly or completely covers the sensor chip.

  • Patent number: 9006847
    Abstract: In a sensor module for accommodating a pressure sensor chip and for installation into a sensor housing, a module wall is connected monolithically to the module bottom and surrounds the pressure sensor chip. Multiple connecting elements which are conducted through the module wall to the outside run straight at least in the entire outside area. Furthermore, the connecting elements are exposed on their top and bottom sides for affixing and electrically connecting at least one electrical component and for electrically integrating the sensor module into the sensor housing. In this way, a two-sided use of a sensor module having an identical external geometry and identical connectors is possible.
