Abstract

A sensor for determining at least one parameter of a fluid medium, in particular an intake air mass flow of an internal combustion engine, flowing through a measuring channel is provided. The sensor includes a sensor housing, in particular a plug-in sensor that is introduced or introducible into a flow tube and in which the measuring channel is formed, and at least one sensor chip situated in the measuring channel for determining the parameter of the fluid medium. The sensor housing includes an electronics compartment for accommodating an electronic module, and an electronics compartment cover for closing the electronics compartment. The electronics compartment cover has electrically conductive properties at least in part. The electronic module is electrically conductively connected to an interior of the electronics compartment cover.
