Abstract

An inductive sensor device for a motor vehicle includes a coil, wherein the coil is arranged on a carrier element and the coil is connected electrically to an electronics unit and wherein an induced voltage can be registered by the coil ( 10 ). The carrier element has a first side and the coil is formed by at least one planar coil on the first side of the carrier element.

Claims (11)

1. An inductive sensor device for a motor vehicle, comprising:

a carrier element having a first side in a first plane, the carrier element including a first depressed opening and at least one second depressed opening;

a coil having a first end embedded in said at least one second depressed opening in said first side of said carrier element, said coil registering an induced voltage; and

an electronics unit embedded in said first depressed opening of said first side of said carrier element;

wherein said coil is electrically connected to said electronics unit, and wherein said coil is formed by at least one planar coil extending in the first plane.

2. The inductive sensor device according to claim 1 , wherein said planar coil is operable to detect a rotational movement or translational movement.

3. The inductive sensor device according to claim 1 , wherein the planar coil is formed as a conductive track.

4. The inductive sensor device according to claim 1 , wherein the first opening is closed by a sealant.

5. The inductive sensor device according to claim 1 , wherein an electrical conductive element, in particular, a wire, is guided through the second opening, wherein the electrical conductive element connects the first side of the carrier element to a second side of the carrier element in an electrically conductive manner.

6. The inductive sensor device according to claim 1 , wherein the first side of the carrier element or a second side of the carrier element is coated with a protective layer that has, in particular, insulating properties.

7. The inductive sensor device according to claim 1 , wherein the planar coil is formed as one of the group consisting of a meander-shaped, spiral, or helical conductive track.
