Abstract
A housing part (10) for a sensor has a transparent, hollow base body which has a toothing (14) in the form of a straight-toothed gearwheel in a circular-cylindrical emission region on its lateral surface. A circuit board of the sensor is partially arranged in the housing part (10). The circuit board has at least one light source which faces the emission region.
Claims5
A sensor, said sensor comprising:
- a circuit board partially arranged in a housing part, the housing part having a transparent, hollow base body having a toothing in the form of a straight-toothed gearwheel in a circular-cylindrical emission region on an outer lateral surface of the housing part, wherein the straight-toothed gearwheel respectively borders a ring of a rough structure along a longitudinal axis of the housing part in two directions and the rough structure extends through at least one tooth gap of the toothing,
- wherein the circuit board has at least one light source which faces the circular-cylindrical emission region,
- wherein the circuit board has electrical plug contacts arranged in a plug region of the housing part and extend through openings of a closing element formed as one part with the housing part, wherein the circular-cylindrical emission region is arranged between the plug region and a connecting region.
