Abstract

An electronic chip is disclosed, including at least one electronic circuit and two or more contact-making pins, wherein the chip additionally has at least one fixing pin. A sensor arrangement is also disclosed for detecting at least one physical or chemical variable relating to a carrier. The sensor arrangement has at least one sensor element which is directly or indirectly coupled to the carrier, and also has an electronic interface arrangement with at least one leadframe, at least one electronic circuit connected to the leadframe, and also at least one electrically insulating housing part which is embodied in such a way that it performs at least one of the functions of (i) at least partly enclosing the at least one electronic circuit, and (ii) mechanically supporting at least parts of the leadframe to one another.
