An electronic sensor array for installation in an automatic gearbox, comprising:
- a housing including a baseplate and a housing lid connected to said baseplate, said housing having a fluid-tight interior and said baseplate having a side facing said housing lid;
- a flexible conductor track foil mounted on said side of said baseplate facing said housing lid and extending over said interior;
- a sensor element disposed in said interior and electrically connected to said flexible conductor track foil;
- and
- a pick-up element disposed outside the housing and communicating a mode setting to said sensor element.
In combination with an automatic gearbox, an electronic sensor array, comprising:
- a housing including a baseplate and a housing lid connected to said baseplate, said housing having a fluid-tight interior and said baseplate having a side facing said housing lid;
- a flexible conductor track foil mounted on said side of said baseplate facing said housing lid and extending over said interior;
- a sensor element disposed in said interior and electrically connected to said flexible conductor track foil;
- and
- a pick-up element disposed outside the housing communicating a desired mode setting for the automatic gearbox to said sensor element.
