Abstract
A signal transmitter for a fill level sensor, a conductor path arrangement is printed on a resistor arrangement. The resistor arrangement is located below a slideway and is accessible between conductor path sections for trimming of the resistor. The signal transmitter is of particularly compact configuration and can be produced at low cost.

A signal transmitter for a fill level sensor of a container of a motor vehicle configured to produce electric signals as a function of a fill level, comprising:
- a resistor arrangement,
- a conductor path arrangement having a slideway and arranged on the resistor arrangement and connected to the resistor arrangement, and
- a sliding contact configured to move in accordance with the fill level and slides across the slideway of the conductor path arrangement,
- wherein the resistor arrangement and the conductor path arrangement at least partially overlap.
A method for producing a signal transmitter for a fill level sensor of a container, comprising:
- applying a conductor path arrangement to a resistor arrangement;
- wherein the conductor path arrangement is connected to the resistor arrangement, and
- wherein the resistor arrangement and the conductor path arrangement at least partially overlap.
