Method of Mounting an Electrical Component on a Base Part

A method of manufacturing a sensor in which method at least one electrical component is mounted on at least one base part, each base part having an inclined support surface, in which method a first wedge surface of a wedge element is arranged on the support surface and a lateral force is exerted on the wedge element so that the first wedge surface moves on the support surface until a second wedge surface of the wedge element remote from the support surface reaches a desired position, wherein the electrical component is arranged on the second wedge surface, and wherein a first fastening element of the wedge element is fixed to the base part and the lateral force is afterward no longer exerted.

An electrical apparatus having at least one electrical component and having at least one base part, wherein the electrical component is mounted on the base part with a wedge element therebetween, each base part having an inclined support surface, wherein a first wedge surface of said wedge element is arranged on the inclined support surface and the wedge element is configured such that a lateral force can be exerted thereon so that the first wedge surface can move on the support surface until a second wedge surface of the wedge element remote from the support surface reaches a desired position, wherein the electrical component is arranged on the second wedge surface, and wherein a first fastening element of the wedge element is fixed to the base part and the lateral force is afterward no longer exerted.
