A sensor device has a sensor element, two connecting elements configured as a wire and are led out of the sensor element, and a supporting element having a supporting body and two supporting feet to support the temperature sensor in a housing. The two connecting elements, the sensor element and the supporting body bound between themselves a two-dimensional clearance of a predefined width and height. A minimum dimension of the sensor element and the length and height of the supporting feet are dimensioned, relative to the clearance, such that neither the sensor element nor one of the supporting feet can enter the clearance of an adjacent sensor device.

Sensor device

One or more contact elements for transmitting calibration data during the calibration of a sensor of the sensor device are electrically connected to a signal processing unit of the sensor. The contact element has a contact region in a groove of a housing part of the sensor device. A sealing compound, which seals the contact region, is introduced into the groove and a cover is brought into contact with the sealing compound in the groove. The groove, the sealing compound, and the cover are configured and they interact in such a way that the chamber communicates only with a working medium which is to be sensed by the sensor.
