A sensor housing () includes a basic body () and two tube sections () projecting from the basic body (). At least a first one () of the tube sections has an outside thread which is interrupted in circumferential direction by at least one recessed facet (). The facet () extends&#x2014;from a center plane of the first tube section () being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the second tube section ()&#x2014;on at least one side of this center plane essentially perpendicularly to it.

Sensor housing

An actuating device (), generating an electrical switching signal, comprising a housing () and a cover () which is held in a groove () worked into the housing, and a switching contact () attached in the interior () of the housing (), the switching contact () is moved from an initial position (a) to a switching position (b) by closure of the cover () either directly or by intermediate elements () attached to the cover (), a reliable and positionally accurate closure of the cover () in order to generate a switching contact, even if the cover () has an off-center actuation force applied to it is achieved because at least one abutment () is attached facing the cover () on the base () of the housing, and has a support surface () corresponding to the movement of the cover () mounted in the groove (), and at least one bearing element () is attached to the cover () which, when the cover () is in its assembled status, makes contact with the support surface () of the abutment () and is thus supported when the cover () is actuated.

Actuating device

A switch () for converting mechanically generated movements into electrical switching signals, consisting of a cover () and a carrier plate () at a distance from one another and fixedly connected together, a switching element () that can be moved to a limited extent relative to the cover () and be actuated by one or more pushbuttons () facing the carrier plate (), by means of which the particular adjustment movements of the switching element () can be measured and are converted into switching signals, the movement direction of the switching element () should be being perceived as the movement direction of an object, in particular a vehicle seat, and the switch () can be operated in at least six different movement directions.

Switch

A housing for holding electrical and/or electronic components with a housing opening and with an entry fitting which is rotationally located in the housing opening, the entry fitting having a cylindrical holding part in which an annular groove is formed, and being held by a fastener in the housing. In the housing, the entry fitting can be securely attached to the housing with simple means and installation of the entry fitting, with the housing otherwise closed, is possible in that, for axially securing the entry fitting in the housing opening, there is an open plastic snap ring which is provided with a feed bevel which is guided in the annular groove, and which, in the installed state of the entry fitting, is locked at least partially in a groove in the housing opening.

Housing for holding electrical and/or electronic components

An optoelectronic sensor device with a housing ( ) which can be adapted to a host of installation situations with the housing ( ) unchanged is achieved in that there are an optics module ( ) and an electronics module ( ) in the housing ( ).
