Electronic sensing unit for a handle attached on a car door

An electronic sensing unit for a handle attached on a car door, the electronic sensing unit comprising:

• a sensor attached on an external side of a part of the car door extending substantially parallel to a reference plane, and
• a fixing mechanism for the sensor, the fixing mechanism comprising a first element and a second element configured to cooperate together,
• wherein the first element is also configured to cooperate with the part of the car door and the sensor,
• wherein the second element is also configured to cooperate with the handle so that a constraint applied to the handle is transmitted to the sensor for detection of a command,
• wherein the sensor includes at least one strain gauge, the at least one strain gauge being configured to be deformed when the constraint is applied to the handle,
• wherein the sensor comprises a support on which the at least one strain gauge is attached, the support being configured to be attached on the external side of the part of the car door or on an intermediate part mounted on the external side of the part of the car door, the support extending parallel to the reference plane,
• wherein the support has two attaching portions each being configured to be fixed to the part of the car thanks to a corresponding third element of the fixing mechanism,
• wherein the at least one strain gauge being located between the two attaching portions along a longitudinal direction of the support.
