The invention relates to a piece of equipment used to detect a user's intent to lock or unlock a motor vehicle door. The equipment is integrated into a handle (10) and comprises a shell body (B'), wherein the shell body (B') comprises a first part (52) which can be deformed elastically along a preset axis (Y-Y') and comprises an area (50) in contact with the handle, a printing circuit (80), a power source voltage (Vcc) and a contact detection component (100). The contact detection component (100) comprises a non-magnetic metal target (40) which can be moved along the preset axis, a coil (20) and a capacitor (C1) which can form an oscillating circuit, a frequency device (M1) used for circuit adjustment, a prestress compressible component (30) located between the target and the coil, a device (51) used to transmit motion of the first part to the target, a device (M2) used to measure inductance (L) of the coil, a device (M3) used to compare the measured inductance and a preset inductance threshold value (Ls), and a control device (60').
