Abstract
A sensor element device for a capacitive touch switch of an operating device faces with an upper side toward the underside of a control panel of the operating device and has an illuminated display with a lighting means. Provided around the lighting means is a housing with fastening means for fastening the sensor element device to a component carrier. Provided on the outside of the housing or of the structural unit, in the region toward the upper side there is electrically conductive plastic that extends along an outer periphery of the housing. From the electrically conductive plastic there extends in the direction of the underside, toward the component carrier, a contacting means for the electrical connection thereto.
