Door opener including a detector configured to detect positions of mobile structural components of the door opener
A door opener includes a detector configured to detect a relative and/or absolute position of mobile structural components of the door opener. The detector has at least one magneto-sensitive sensor configured to be accommodated in a carrier of at least one printed circuit board, the magneto-sensitive sensor being at least partially disposed within the printed circuit board. Contacts of the magneto-sensitive sensor are coupled to the at least one printed circuit board, either directly or via a conductor foil. The magneto-sensitive sensor cooperates with at least one magnet at a structural component, which is mobile in relation to the magnet, to generate a position signal.
