Abstract

A device for fastening a rectangular sensor to a support part has a base plate (2) in which a receiving recess (3) is made. Guide walls (6, 7) are integrally formed on mutually opposite edge sides (4, 5) of the receiving recess (3), said guide walls extending between two corner regions (18, 20; 19, 21) of the receiving recess (3), which corner regions end an edge side (4, 5). Furthermore, stop parts (10, 11) which are shorter than the length of the guide walls (6, 7) are integrally formed on the other edge sides (8, 9), in each case in the central region thereof, the stop parts each having at least one stop section (26) oriented at right angles to the base plate (2), wherein the guide sections (22) and the stop sections (26) bear against a wall of the sensor when the sensor is fitted. As a result, even sensors of relatively large dimensions can be fastened to the support part in a stable and accurately fitting manner with relatively little expenditure on material.
