Abstract
An operator control device for a hob has a hob plate as an operator control panel, and a component carrier including conductor tracks and contact areas beneath the hob plate. A sensor element device including a sensor element housing is arranged on the component carrier, with electrically conductive material for forming a capacitive sensor element on a top face. In order to make electrical contact with the electrically conductive material on the component carrier, a spring element receptacle is provided in the sensor element housing, an electrically conductive spring element being inserted into the spring element receptacle, which electrically conductive spring element is composed of a material which is different from the electrically conductive material for the capacitive sensor element. The spring element, in the state in which it is inserted into the spring element receptacle, projects out of the spring element receptacle and establishes the electrical contact-connection under compression when the sensor element device is fastened to the component carrier.
