A sensor array includes a housing with a circumferential housing wall, which defines a housing opening, with a sensor circuit board with a high-frequency sensor. The sensor circuit board in the housing is arranged such that the high-frequency sensor is directed towards the housing opening. A one-piece closing cap closes the housing. The one-piece closing cap has a circumferential cap wall and a high-frequency lens. The high-frequency lens closes the circumferential cap wall on the front side and is directed towards the housing opening. A distance between the high-frequency lens and the high-frequency sensor and thus a focal length is predefined by a lateral length of the cap wall.

Sensor array

A sensor includes at least a housing () which encloses a housing interior (), a printed circuit board () and a sensing element (). The printed circuit board () has electronic components () and is located within the housing interior (). The sensing element () is electrically connected to the printed circuit board () and is located within the housing interior (). The sensing element () is frictionally connected to the housing () so that the sensing element () is held in position in the housing interior ().
