Appeal No. 95-4738
Application No. 08/146,868
APPENDIX
1. A pressure sensor comprising:
a metallic housing having a bottom wall formed with a
fluid pressure inlet in the bottom wall and having a sidewall
extending upwardly from the bottom wall to a distal end,
a pressure sensing module having a pressure responsive
surface communicating with the fluid pressure inlet and disposed
within the housing closely adjacent the upwardly extending
sidewall, the upwardly extending sidewall circumscribing the
pressure sensing module,
an annular stop surface integrally formed as part of
the bottom wall, the stop surface disposed a selected first
distance above the remainder of the bottom wall, the pressure
sensing module received on the stop surface,
a seal formed of resilient material received on the
bottom wall contiguous to and inboard of the stop surface, the
seal formed of resilient material having a height of a second
distance greater than the first distance whereby compression of
the seal by the pressure sensing module is limited by the stop
surface,
the distal end of the upwardly extending sidewall being
crimped inwardly to place a force on the pressure sensing module
biasing the module against the stop surface, and
a connector attached to the housing to provide
electrical connection to the pressure sensing module.
