## Abstract

A sensor housing for a radar sensor for a vehicle comprising a housing and a printed circuit board. The housing has a venting duct for the venting of the sensor housing, as well as a press-fit guide for the reception of a positioning aid for the printed circuit board. The venting duct and the press-fit guide form a common duct.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A sensor housing for a radar sensor for a vehicle, the sensor housing comprising:
a connector having a venting duct for the venting of the sensor housing, and having a press-fit guide;
a printed circuit board, wherein said press-fit guide receives a positioning structure for the printed circuit board;
wherein the venting duct and the press-fit guide form a common duct.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The sensor housing according to claim 1, wherein the duct ends in a connector housing of the sensor housing with one of its ends.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The sensor housing according to claim 1, wherein the connector with the duct is embodied as an injection-molded part.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The sensor housing according to claim 1, wherein the duct is embodied as a drill hole in the connector.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The sensor housing according to claim 1, wherein the duct is embodied in a tube-shaped manner.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The sensor housing according to claim 1, wherein the duct has a bend.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The sensor housing according to claim 1, wherein the press-fit guide is arranged in an approximately vertical manner relative to the venting duct in the sensor housing.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

A radar sensor for a vehicle with a sensor housing according to claim 1.
