METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN APPROACH SENSOR SEALED AGAINST THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT, APPROACH SENSOR SEALED AGAINST THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT AND ASSOCIATED HANDLE

摘要

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a sealed approach sensor (1), intended to be mounted in the handle of a motor vehicle opening leaf, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: the electrical components of the sensor are placed on a flexible printed circuit (3); said printed circuit (3) is placed on edge on a first longitudinal edge in a curved mould; and a resin is cast under gravity onto the second longitudinal edge so as to encapsulate said sensor in order to seal it.
