A sensor device for a steering system of a vehicle includes a sensor housing accommodated within a housing pot and including a first central recess defining an axis and receiving a shaft of the steering system so as to mount the sensor housing on the shaft. A sensor element is coupled to the shaft and a sensor cover is mounted on the housing pot. The sensor cover includes a second central recess receiving the shaft so as to mount the sensor cover on the shaft. An inner contact unit firmly connected to the sensor cover and electrically contacting the sensor element, the inner contact unit arranged on an inside of the sensor cover and including a connector part axially oriented along the axis. An outer contact unit is firmly connected to the sensor cover on an outside of the sensor cover and electrically connected to the inner contact unit.

A hybrid electrical connector includes a housing having a central opening, a carrier plate supported by the housing within the central opening, and electrically conductive pins supported within the housing by the carrier plate. The housing is formed of a first plastic material, and the carrier plate is formed of a second plastic material having properties that make it more dimensionally stable than the first plastic material. In addition, a sealing layer is applied to one surface of the carrier plate, the sealing layer formed of a third plastic material and serving to secure the carrier plate to the housing and to secure the pins within the carrier plate. A method of forming the electrical connector is also described.

A connector position assurance (CPA) for ensuring the contact position of a plug housing on a mating plug housing includes a housing configured to be pushed onto the plug housing in a mounting direction and a locking element configured to block a latching element of the plug housing. The housing of the CPA has a passage opening configured to receive the plug housing during the mounting process. The locking element is arranged on the housing of the CPA and has a free end that extends along the mounting direction. The locking element is offset toward the outside transverse to the mounting direction in relation to the housing of the CPA in order to keep the risk of interlocking as low as possible. A plug connector arrangement includes the CPA.
