A sensor assembly for a vehicle includes (i) a plug assembly which having a plug housing and at least two plug pins and forms an external interface of the sensor assembly, (ii) a circuit carrier on which an electronic circuit corresponding to a sensor concept being implemented is arranged, and (iii) a sensor housing which comprises an insertion opening. The circuit carrier is connected to the plug housing and the at least two plug pins at a first interface. The sensor housing includes a second interface having an opening via which the sensor housing can be connected to an external sensor arrangement or a cover according to the sensor concept being implemented, which covers the opening of the third interface in the unused state. The circuit carrier is inserted into the sensor housing through the insertion opening which is connected to the plug housing via a third interface. The circuit carrier is pre-fixed at an end region of the sensor housing. A guide element guides the circuit carrier on a first side and at least one spring element adjoins a second side opposite the first side and presses and fixes the circuit carrier against the guide element. The first interface and the external interface are arranged according to a function of a communication protocol being implemented. The second interface and the third interface are designed in the same way, independent of the sensor concept being implemented and the communication protocol being implemented. An associated method for mounting such a sensor assembly is also disclosed.

A braking force generator for an actuation device of a brake system. The braking force generator includes a movably supported actuator element, an electric motor which is designed to move the actuator element, a controller for controlling the electric motor, a movably supported input rod which is coupled or can be coupled to a brake pedal, a displacement sensor which is assigned to the input rod and has a transmitter and a receiver, and a communication path which is electrically connected to the receiver at one end and to the controller at the other end. The displacement sensor is arranged so as to be covered by the controller and/or adjoin the controller in plan view of the braking force generator, the viewing direction in said plan view corresponding to the movement direction of the actuator element.
