Abstract
Abstract An inductive transmitter has a housing 1 within which two pole shoes 8, a permanent magnet 7 arranged between the pole shoes 8 and a coil 6 surrounding the permanent magnet 7 and the pole shoes 8 are arranged. The two ends of the coil 6 are connected with an output connection from which a cable 16 is conducted outwardly from the housing 1. The electric components, such as the coil 6, output connection pieces 9, 9' and output connection contacts 23, 23', are arranged in the watertight inside of the housing 1, while the permanent magnet 7 and the pole shoes 8 are received in a pot-shaped recess 14 developed communicatingly outside the inside of the housing in a coil support.
