Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2088267A2] The arrangement has a sensor section at an outer side of a wall section (4) of a wall (3). The wall encloses electrical components and another sensor section (6) i.e. Hall sensor, and is insulated against the environment. The former sensor section has a deformable mechanical element i.e. snapping panel (8), with stable resting and metastable states, and the element is arranged in a recess (7) of the wall. An abrupt transition in a metastable state leads to a tactile feedback signal, which is tangible to a user. The transition is caused by a manual force effect on an outer side of the element.
