Abstract
An inductive sensor with coils arranged substantially in layers on a flat circuit-carrier. The edges of the flat circuit-carrier are metallized obliquely so that an upper side, a lower side, an intermediate layer and/or a plurality of intermediate layers of the flat circuit-carrier are interconnected with one another via the edges in a conductive manner.
Claims9
1-10. (canceled)
An inductive sensor with coils arranged in layers on a flat circuit-carrier,
- wherein the flat circuit-carrier has a surface at top and lateral faces which form a probe onto which a conductive material is applied by metallization, and
- the conductive material is interrupted along a helical path, on the lateral faces, so that a coil is formed whose helical path runs over all the lateral faces of the probe.
An inductive sensor comprising:
- a flat circuit carrier with a plurality of probes being aligned along an edge of the circuit carrier,
- each probe comprises three or four metallized lateral faces and a top face, and
- each of the three or four metallized faces comprising channels which are cut therein to form a helical coil that spans a length of all the lateral faces.
