Abstract:
A method of producing a sensor device, which comprises:providing a housing part formed with a chamber and a groove; placing a sensor having a sensor element and a signal processing unit in the chamber; electrically connecting at least one contact element to the signal processing unit, the contact element having a contact region formed in the groove; encapsulating the at least one contact element with a casting compound and subsequently electrically contacting the contact region in the groove of the housing part; calibrating the sensor by aligning a characteristic curve of the sensor element with a predetermined characteristic curve and transmitting calibration data via the sensor element to the signal processing unit and storing the calibration data in the signal processing unit; introducing sealing compound into the groove and sealing the contact region; and bringing a cover into contact with the sealing compound in the groove, and sealing the groove, the sealing compound and the cover together such that the chamber communicates only with a working medium.
