Abstract

A sensor unit for controlling an occupant protection system has a sensor which is held in its position on a printed circuit board through the use of an elastic damping holder. The damping holder is soldered onto the printed circuit board together with the sensor. In addition, the damping holder protects the sensor during the production and mounting of the sensor unit.
