Patent ID: 8274275

Claim:
An angle sensor ( 2 ), said sensor comprising: a magnetically sensitive face portion, which operates according to the Hall-principle or according to the magneto resistive principle, comprising a sensor element ( 5 ) proximal to its front face; a carrier board ( 9 ) used for mounting to a vicinity; an electric circuit, mounted to a circuit board ( 1 ), completely enclosed by a hardened encasement body; the encasement body mounted to the circuit board ( 1 ) in a form-locked manner and through adhesion; and wherein said carrier board simultaneously forms said circuit board to form a combined carrier board and circuit board and wherein said combined carrier board and circuit board is made from the group consisting of: plastic, fiber reinforced plastic, glass fiber reinforced epoxy (GRP), and partially comprises a metal coating which is electrically conductive; the metal coating comprises all portions of the carrier board and circuit board ( 9 / 1 ) which are not covered by said encasement body ( 3 ), including all narrow sides ( 9 c ) of said carrier board ( 9 / 1 ); and the metal coating is only provided on a surface portion of an upper side ( 9 a ), which is covered by said encasement body ( 3 ), where the coating is required for an electrical conductor path.
