Abstract
A flexible electrical connection () for electrically contacting a sensor () or a sensor module () includes at least one electrical conductor () extending in an axial length between a moveable component () and a stationary component (). The at least one electrical conductor () is fixed to a sensor housing () via a rigid coupling () and is connected to a housing () of the sensor () or sensor module () via a movable, rotatable coupling (). The at least one electrical conductor () includes first sections () and second sections (), the second sections () including an injected coating. The first sections () have a higher deformation property than the second sections (), and the first sections () do not include an injected coating, or they include an injected coating having the thickness of a film hinge. The first and second sections extend along an axial length of the at least one electrical conductor (), The first sections () have a thickness () that is less than the thickness () of the second sections (). The first and second sections define a hinge of the electrical conductor () by their lengths, such that in a bent position (), a bend () of the at least one electrical conductor () of at least 90° is formed within one of said first sections ().
