Abstract
A sensor unit for controlling an occupant protection system has a sensor which is held in its position on a printed circuit board through the use of an elastic damping holder. The damping holder is soldered onto the printed circuit board together with the sensor. In addition, the damping holder protects the sensor during the production and mounting of the sensor unit.
Claims6
A sensor unit for controlling an occupant protection system of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a printed circuit board;
- a circuit carried by said printed circuit board;
- a sensor attached to said printed circuit board for detecting at least one of accelerations and decelerations;
- and
- a damping holder soldered to said printed circuit board, said damping holder holding said sensor at a defined angle relative to said printed circuit board for damping against mechanical vibrations and protecting against mechanical effects.
