DEVICE HOUSING IN PARTICULAR FOR A SENSOR FOR MOTOR VEHICLES

摘要

The invention relates to a housing (10) for a device for mounting on an assembly surface (2), in particular a sensor module comprising a sensor for a motor vehicle. The housing comprises a housing assembly surface (11), by means of which the housing (10) may be brought into contact with the assembly surface (2) and a contact socket (14) with electrical contacts which may be electrically and mechanically connected with a complementary contact plug (40) and running parallel to a housing plane (18) in which the housing assembly surface (11) is arranged. A locking device (22) is also provided with the following features: a detector means (22), designed to detect a given position on the assembly surface (2) when the housing (10) is on contact with the assembly surface (2) by means of the housing assembly surface (11), a blocking means (26), designed to release or block the mechanical and/or electrical connection between the contact socket (14) and the contact plug (40), the connection begin released by the blocking means (26) when the housing (10) is in contact with the given position on the assembly surface (2) by means of the housing assembly surface (11) thereof.
