Electronic component, in particular a position sensor

Connector (13) has guide channels for cable (3) wires (16). Channel walls form guide surfaces for the wires. Surfaces diverge in the wires plug-in direction so that wires are spread out when pushed through the guide surface. Circuit support (12) has contact surfaces at the outlets of the channels and connected with the conductors (15). Wires are electrically connected to the contact surfaces. Wires emerging from guide channels are guided near to the contact surfaces. The device has a main body (8) with a molded interconnect device or MID circuit bearer (12) carrying a connecting body (13) to which a multi-wire cable (3) can be fixed with its wires (16) passed through the connecting body to contact conducting tracks (15) on the circuit bearer. The connecting body has several adjacent guide channels through which the cable wires can be passed and whose channel walls form guide surfaces diverging in the wire insertion direction to spread the wires. Position sensor can be connected by the cable to an electronic evaluation unit or other electronic device.
