Patent ID: 8847590

Claim:
A surface-mountable magnetic field sensor comprising: a semiconductor chip on a flat-conductor substrate, and at least three flat-conductor electrodes protruding from a plastic housing, wherein the semiconductor chip and the flat-conductor substrate are embedded into the plastic housing, wherein the plastic housing can be inserted with the embedded semiconductor chip into a magnetic field gap, with the flat-conductor electrodes protruding, and wherein each of the at least three flat-conductor electrodes has a protruding portion protruding from a plastic housing, a lateral portion extending laterally to the protruding portion, and a bent section connecting the lateral portion and protruding portion, wherein the bent sections of the flat-conductor electrodes are arranged in a plastic holder, and the lateral portions of the flat-conductor electrodes extend from the plastic holder in different directions, and wherein the lateral sections of the flat-conductor electrodes are surface-mountable on a circuit board when the plastic holder is inserted through an opening in the circuit board.
