Abstract:
1. A sensor for conducting a measurement, comprising at least one sensor element ( 7 ), a housing ( 6 ) enclosing the sensor element ( 7 ), the sensor element ( 7 ) being arranged in a region ( 14 ) of the housing ( 6 ) facing the measurement, contact pins ( 10 ) provided as current lead-ins to outer leads in a region of the housing ( 6 ) facing away from the sensor element ( 7 ), electrical connection leads ( 12 ) of the sensor element ( 7 ) being connected with the contact pins ( 10 ), and at least one spacing element ( 9 ) provided between the sensor element ( 7 ) and the contact pins ( 10 ), the spacing element ( 9 ) comprising electrically insulating material and having recesses ( 11 ) for guiding the connection leads ( 12 ) between the sensor element ( 7 ) and the contact pins ( 10 ), wherein the connection leads ( 12 ) protrude with their free ends from an end of the spacing element ( 9 ) facing away from the measurement, wherein the connection leads ( 12 ) extend up to contact pins ( 10 ) and are connected electrically and mechanically fast therewith, and wherein, viewed from the contact pins ( 10 ), the spacing element ( 9 ) tapers in cross section toward the sensor element ( 7 ), and the recesses ( 11 ) are arranged in opposite-lying lateral surfaces of the spacing element ( 9 ) and accommodate the connection leads ( 12 ) extending from the sensor element ( 7 ).
