• a component including a scale;
• a sensor unit arranged opposite the scale, the component being movable relative to the sensor unit, the sensor unit adapted to measure a position of the component relative to the sensor unit and including:
• a metal body having a first opening;
• an electronic component arranged in the first opening;
• an electrically insulative molding compound filling a gap that is provided between the electronic component and the metal body;
• an electrically insulative first layer applied on the electronic component and on the molding compound;
• and
• a circuit trace electrically contacting the electronic component, being routed through the first layer in a first section, and extending on the first layer in a second section;
• wherein the circuit trace is arranged between the metal body and the scale.
