摘要: A sensor has a sensor element (5) with two opposite sides (11, 9) and an interconnect (7) with first and second terminal segments (13B, 13F) interconnected by an intermediate segment (42). The first terminal segment (13F) is positioned against a first side (11) of the sensor element and comprises a first contact terminal (50). The second terminal segment (13B) is positioned against the second side (9) of the two opposite sides of the sensor element and comprises a second contact terminal (52) on a surface facing the second side (11). There are third and fourth, external, contact terminals (54, 56). The interconnect provided electrical connections between the first and fourth contact terminals (50, 56) and between the second and third contact terminals (52, 54).
