Abstract
A sensor (10) having a housing (12) is provided which has a main housing part (14) and a connection part (16) having a connection (18, 20, 22), wherein the connection part (16) is movably attached at the main housing part (14), in such a way that the connection (18, 20, 22) is selectively accessible from two sides of the housing (12). In this connection the connection part (16) has at least three connections (18, 20, 22) and is movable at the main housing part (14) in such a way that the at least three connections (18, 20, 22) are selectively accessible from two sides of the housing (12).
Claims12
A sensor, comprising a housing, which has a main housing part and a connection part with a connection, wherein the connection part is movably attached at the main housing part in such a way that the connection is selectively accessible from two sides of the housing,
- wherein the connection part has at least three connections and is movable at the main housing part in such a way that the at least three connections are selectively accessible from two sides of the housing.
A method for the selective connection of a sensor in a housing from two different sides, in that a connection part of the housing is moved relative to a main housing part of the housing in dependence on the selected side or is left in its position such that a connection of the connection part becomes accessible from the selected side,
- wherein the sensor can be connected via three lines to the connections of the connection part and in that the three connections are made accessible from the selected side on a movement of the connection part relative to the main housing part.
