A sensor casing is disclosed that has an open receiving space which has a peripheral edge as a creep barrier at the open end. The receiving space is filled with a potting compound. The cured potting compound forms a concave surface with respect to the peripheral edge. A method for potting an open receiving space of a sensor casing of this kind is also disclosed. The peripheral edge has an outwardly declining slope which allows temporary overfilling of the receiving space during a potting process so as to form a stable convex potting compound surface.

Sensor casing and method for potting an open receiving space of a sensor casing

A housing with an open receiving chamber which has a circumferential edge in the form of a creepage barrier at an open upper face is disclosed. The receiving chamber is filled with a casting compound, and the hardened casting compound forms a concave surface relative to the circumferential edge at the open upper face. A sensor is also disclosed that includes such a housing. In addition, a method for casting an open receiving chamber of such a housing is disclosed. The open receiving chamber has an opening at one end leading to an enclosed interior adjoining the open receiving chamber. The enclosed interior is filled with the casting compound, and the open upper face of the receiving chamber has a varying height where the upper face transitions into the enclosed interior. The circumferential edge has an outwardly descending inclination and a continuous curvature formed by tangential transitions in order to overcome the height difference, and the circumferential edge allows the receiving chamber to be temporarily overfilled, thereby forming a stable convex casting compound surface, during the casting process.

A method is disclosed for producing an angled plug-in connector, which has an insert-molded, prefabricated busbar stack that has at least two busbars which are next to one another, are spaced apart by an insulating gap, and are made of an electrically conductive planar material. Each of the busbars includes a starting region which is in a reference plane and oriented in a reference direction, an end region which is bent out of the reference plane about a creasing angle and oriented in a transverse direction, a curved transition region from the reference direction into the transverse direction, and a bending region oriented along a bending line. The bending line is oriented, with respect to the reference direction, at a bending line angle, and the busbar stack is insert moulded between the starting region and the end region having a housing made of an electrically non-conductive plastics material.
