A sensor module has a housing that may be mounted about a through opening of an assembly surface. The housing extends at least partly through the through opening when the housing is disposed on the assembly surface. The sensor module further has a sealing body, between the outer surface of the housing and the through opening of the assembly surface and an attachment device, by way of which the housing is fixed to the assembly surface. The attachment device lies on the through opening in order to bring about a mechanical fixation of the housing to the assembly surface.

1. A sensor module, comprising: a housing for mounting at a feed-through opening of a mounting surface, said housing projecting at least partially through said feed-through opening when said housing is positioned on the mounting surface;a sealing body provided between an exterior of said housing and the feed-through opening of the mounting surface;a securing device for securing said housing on the mounting surface, said securing device lying against the feed-through opening for mechanically securing said housing on the mounting surface; anda sensor element disposed in said housing;wherein said securing device includes a snap-in connector and a retention means: andwherein said securing device is a snap-in fastener having an actuatable retaining section and a back facing the feed-through opening, wherein said back is formed at an angle to an insertion direction of said housing and wherein an end, facing the feed-through opening, of said back is joined via a shoulder that can be supported on the mounting surface to said retaining section when said housing has been mounted on the mounting surface. 2. The sensor module according to claim 1, wherein said securing device is at least partially surrounded by said sealing body. 3. The sensor module according to claim 1, wherein said retention means has a bearing section configured to take up a force that is exerted by said snap-in connector and acts in a plane of the feed-through opening when said housing has been mounted on the mounting surface. 4. The sensor module according to claim 3, wherein said bearing section of said retention means is located on said housing opposite said snap-in connector. 5. The sensor module according to claim 3, wherein a section of said sealing body is disposed between said bearing section and the feed-through opening. 6. The sensor module according to claim 3, wherein said retention means is formed with a shoulder configured to take up a force acting perpendicularly to a plane of the feed-through opening, and wherein said shoulder is supported on the mounting surface when said housing is mounted on the mounting surface. 7. The sensor module according to claim 3, wherein said retention means includes a latch supported on an edge of the feed-through opening or on a further feed-through opening separate therefrom, and a section configured to take up a force acting perpendicularly to a plane of the feed-through opening, with said section being supported on the mounting surface when the housing is mounted on the mounting surface. 8. The sensor module according to claim 1, wherein said sealing body has a bearing shoulder at least partially encompassing said housing and configured to take up a force acting perpendicularly to a plane of the feed-through opening, and wherein said bearing shoulder is supported on the mounting surface when the housing is mounted on the mounting surface. 9. The sensor module according to claim 1, wherein said securing device is integrally formed as a single piece with said housing. 10. The sensor module according to claim 1, wherein said securing device and said sealing body are integrally formed as a two-component injection-molding unit. 11. The sensor module according to claim 1, wherein said housing is substantially round or oval in cross-section. 12. The sensor module according to claim 1, wherein said sensor element is a pressure sensor. 13. The sensor module according to claim 1, wherein the module is a side airbag satellite. 14. The sensor module according to claim 1, wherein said housing includes a contact socket with at least one electrical contact pin. 15. A sensor module, comprising: a housing for mounting at a feed-through opening of a mounting surface, said housing projecting at least partially through said feed-through opening when said housing is positioned on the mounting surface;a sealing body provided between an exterior of said housing and the feed-through opening of the mounting surface;a securing device for securing said housing on the mounting surface, said securing device lying against the feed-through opening for mechanically securing said housing on the mounting surface; anda sensor element disposed in said housing;wherein said securing device includes a snap-in connector and a retention means;wherein said retention means has a bearing section configured to take up a force that is exerted by said snap-in connector and acts in a plane of the feed-through opening when said housing has been mounted on the mounting surface; andwherein said bearing section of said retention means is located on said housing opposite said snap-in connector.
