Abstract
An accelerometer sensor with a protective sleeve for electric cables, the sensor having a base forming a body, a plastic coating being overmolded around an external wall of the base and around an end portion of the sleeve adjacent to the connecting pin. The end portion of the sleeve is surrounded by a connecting element at least partially embedded in the overmolding material and having, on the one hand, an anchorage to the sleeve which are arranged on the connecting element facing the end portion of the sleeve and, on the other hand, a retainer of a portion of overmolding material or bonding to the portion of overmolding material enveloping the end portion of sleeve.

An accelerometer sensor with a protective sleeve for electric cables, the sensor comprising:
- a base forming a body containing electronic and electrical components of the sensor,
- a connecting pin projecting from the base and being connected to two electric cables surrounded with the protective sleeve,
- a plastic coating being overmolded around an external wall of the base, around the connecting pin and around an end portion of the sleeve adjacent to the connecting pin, said end portion of the sleeve being surrounded by a connecting element at least partially embedded in the overmolding material and having, on the one hand, means of anchorage to the sleeve which are arranged on the connecting element facing the end portion of the sleeve and, on the other hand, means of retention of a portion of overmolding material or means of bonding to the portion of overmolding material enveloping said end portion of sleeve, wherein the bonding means for bonding the connecting element to the portion of overmolding material of the coating are means of chemical bonding between a material of at least part of the connecting element and the overmolding material, and the retaining means are means of inserting overmolding material in the connecting element.
