<p>A sensor assembly includes a metal carrier plate (2) and a sensor housing (3) made of plastic that contains at least one sensor element. The sensor housing (3) is connected to the carrier plate (2) by means of at least one screw (5) that is passed through a through hole (6) of the carrier plate (2). A screwing channel (7) in the sensor housing (3) is defined by the housing material. As a result, a sensor assembly is obtained where the screwed connection is secure.</p>
