Abstract
In order to create a very small and compact embodiment of a coupler plug, in particular for a planar broadband Lambda sensor, a coupler plug is created for connecting a cable harness to a Lambda sensor. The coupler plug includes a housing, namely a basic element and a cover element. The coupler plug also includes electrical components that can be inserted into the housing and can be fixed in position. Additionally, the coupler plug includes an adjustment element for a sensor, in particular a planar broadband Lambda sensor, which can be arranged in the coupler plug or can be provided outside the coupler plug via a further contact element. Part of the coupler plug is designed as a contact carrier. Electrical contacts of the coupler plug and the adjustment element are pre-mounted on the contact carrier. It is possible to separate the contact carrier, along with the electrical contacts and the adjustment element, from the rest of the coupler plug.
