An electrical plug connector for a coaxial or triaxial cable, wherein the cable includes an internal conductor, a first shielding conductor surrounding the internal conductor and extending coaxially with it, and optionally a second shielding conductor surrounding the first shielding conductor. The plug connector has a connector body, which includes an internal conductor contact element designed as a plug, socket, or coupling, for contacting with the internal conductor, an internal shield contact element provided for contacting with the first shielding conductor, and optionally an external shield contact element provided for contacting with the second shielding conductor. The connector body is configured such that the contact elements in the mounted condition of the plug connector are arranged on the cable such that a maximum diameter of the connector body is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the cable or only slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cable.

Electrical plug connector

The invention relates to a sensor element () of a capacitive sensor consisting of two or more layers of a substrate (), the electrodes () of the sensor being inserted between said layers. The sensor element is characterized in that a heating element () is integrated into said sensor element ().

Capacitive sensor comprising integrated heating element

A temperature sensor comprising a sensor element that is arranged in a housing, is characterized in that the sensor element is totally enclosed with a thermally conductive material, preferably with a thermally conductive paste, inside the housing.

Temperature sensor

The invention relates to a sensor which uses the capacitive measuring principle which is used to detect the proximity of a dielectric medium, preferably for detecting a human body part, which is used in an anti-pinching system. The sensor includes a capacitor and an evaluation electronic system. The variation of the capacity of the capacitor, which is caused by the medium, can be measured. The capacitor, which can establish a distinction between a human body part or a solid and water and/or humidity, is characterized in that the capacitor can be operated in a successive manner by at least two different frequencies and/or at least two different pulse duty factors by using the different ratio of said elements in a variable electric field. The invention also relates to a corresponding method.

Sensor using the capacitive measuring principle

A sensor arrangement with a first sensor ( ) which comprises a measuring coil ( ) that operates by the eddy current principle, and which detects the distance from a target ( ), and a second sensor ( ), the two sensors ( ) being arranged in a housing ( ). To reduce the interaction of the sensors with each other, a panel ( ) is positioned on the measuring side of the housing, with the panel being an active component of the second sensor ( ). The second sensor is preferably a capacitive sensor, with the panel ( ) being the active measuring surface of the capacitive sensor.
