Abstract

The invention relates to a sensor, with a sensor housing (8) whose through-hole is intended for a connecting cable (1) that is attached to the sensor (11, 12), such that the connecting cable (1) is surrounded by a pressure spring element (4). In accordance with the invention, a conical supporting sleeve (3) is positioned next to the pressure spring element (4); also furnished is a cable seat housing (2) of thermoplastic material with a conical hole. The conical supporting sleeve (3) engages with this conical hole. A cable jacket (1b) belonging to the connecting cable (1) is squeezed between the conical supporting sleeve (3) and the cable seat housing (2), while the pressure spring element (4) is encompassed by a spring housing, (5) and the cable seat housing (2) can be secured to the sensor housing (8) by means of a cap sleeve (7).
