Fecha de publicación: 30/12/2004 Fuente: Wipo "Sensorization" The invention relates to a sensor comprising a sensor element (1) for detecting a physical variable, said sensor comprising two electric contact surfaces (2), and comprising a sensor body (3), on one end of which the sensor element (1) and on the other end of which a contact carrier (4) is located, wherein the contact carrier (4) supports at least two insulation displacement contacts (5) suitable for producing an insulation displacement connection (6) to an electric connecting cable (7), wherein each contact surface (2) is connected to an insulation displacement contact (5). The invention also relates to a sensor assembly. The combination of the insulation displacement technology with the sensor makes it possible for the sensor and the cable tree of a motor vehicle, for example, to be contacted in a simple manner.
