Claim Text:
1. A sensor device ( 10 ), having a housing ( 11 ) for accommodating a sensor element ( 1 ), wherein the sensor element ( 1 ) has electrical contact areas ( 2 , 3 ) which are connected to electrical plug connections ( 18 , 19 ) arranged in the housing ( 11 ) in an electrically conductive manner in a region of contacts ( 23 , 24 ) of the plug connections ( 18 , 19 ), wherein a force is applied to the sensor element ( 1 ) with a housing element for the purpose of making electrical contact between the electrical contact areas ( 2 , 3 ) and the contacts ( 23 , 24 ), characterized in that the contacts ( 23 , 24 ) of the electrical plug connections ( 18 , 19 ) are arranged in a stationary manner in the housing ( 11 ) with respect to the electrical contact areas ( 2 , 3 ) of the sensor element ( 1 ), and in that a support for an underside of the sensor element ( 1 ) is formed between the sensor element ( 1 ) and the housing ( 11 ) in such a manner that the sensor element ( 1 ) has a three-point, rigid contact in the housing ( 11 ), and in that punctiform supports are formed respectively between the electrical contact areas ( 2 , 3 ) and the contacts ( 23 , 24 ) by forming the contacts ( 23 , 24 ) in a punctiform manner to define two of the three rigid contact points, as well as in a support region between the sensor element ( 1 ) and the housing ( 11 ) by forming a support region ( 43 ) on the housing ( 11 ) in a punctiform manner to define a third of the three rigid contact points.
