Longer-lasting inductive sensor with an electrical coil having improved load-bearing and thermal properties

Inductive sensor (11) comprising

• a housing (10);
• a coil body (13) and at least one coil (14) arranged on the coil body, said coil body (13) with said at least one coil (14) being located inside said housing (10) and said at least one coil (14) including a winding having winding end portions (114);
• current conductors (15) having conductor end portions (115) and arranged in said housing (10), said conductor end portions (115) electrically contacting said winding end portions (114) of said windings in a contact region (18) inside said housing (10);
• a permanently elastic material (26) enclosing said contact region (18) between said conductor end portions (115) and said winding end portions (114);
• and
• a circumferential element (28) made of a temperature-resistant material and enclosing said contact region (18) between said conductor end portions (115) said current conductors (15) and said winding end portions (114) of said windings of said at least one coil (14).
