A device for detecting a rotational angle of a rotatable part, e.g., a steering wheel, includes at least one magnet, at least one sensor which detects the magnetic field of the magnet, at least one housing in which the sensor and/or the magnet is/are movably situated relative to one another, and at least one printed circuit board which is contacted in an electrically conductive manner by at least one connecting element of the sensor. The printed circuit board has at least one interface or a connector plug from which the output signal of the sensor or an output signal derived therefrom is relayed to an evaluation unit which ascertains the absolute position of the rotational angle as a function of the output signal.

Device for detecting a rotational angle of a rotatable part

An apparatus for sensing a rotation angle of a rotatable part, preferably a steering wheel or steering column of a vehicle includes at least one magnet, at least one sensor that senses the magnetic field of the magnet, at least one housing in which the sensor and/or magnet are disposed movably relative to one another, wherein a hub is provided which is connected to the magnet to yield an integrated component, and which is connectable to the rotatable part.
