Abstract

A sensor housing (1) includes a basic body (2) and two tube sections (4, 9) projecting from the basic body (2). At least a first one (4; 9) of the tube sections has an outside thread which is interrupted in circumferential direction by at least one recessed facet (15, 17; 19, 20). The facet (15, 17; 19, 20) extends—from a center plane of the first tube section (4; 9) being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the second tube section (9; 4)—on at least one side of this center plane essentially perpendicularly to it.
