Abstract
An inductive presence, proximity or position sensor comprising an inductive coil defining a working or active face of the sensor corresponding to the external face of a covering plate or a substantially plane part of the housing or casing containing said coil, the plate or plane part being made of a metal with high mechanical resistance and being disposed substantially perpendicularly to the coil axis. The plate or plane part (4) has at least one linear discontinuity (6), extending at least partly across the plate or plane part (4).
