Abstract
A filling level indicator for determining a filling level in a tank, having a resistor network, a contact element, and a magnetic element. The contact element is arranged spaced apart from the resistor network, and the magnetic element can be moved relative to the resistor network and the contact element. An electrically conductive connection can be established between the contact element and the resistor network by deflecting the contact element. A plastic spacer element is arranged between the resistor network and the contact element and is hot-swaged to the resistor network and/or to the contact element.
