Zusammenfassung:A sensor device for detecting wetting, in particular rainfall and soiling, on a windshield ( 22 ) has at least one transmitter ( 12 ) and at least one receiver ( 14 ) for the light ( 26 ) emitted by the transmitters ( 12 ), where transmitters ( 12 ) and receivers ( 14 ) are arranged at the corner points of an imaginary triangle or parallelogram ( 16 ). Therefore, the outside dimensions (b, l) of the sensor are reduced, and the ratio of sensitive area ( 20 ) to base area ( 16 ) of the sensor is improved.
