Claim Text:
1. A crash pressure sensor comprising: a housing; an inlet arm extending from the housing, said inlet arm having a through bore; a securing means for securing said housing to a dividing panel so that a main portion of the housing is located on a first side of the dividing panel and the inlet arm extends through to a second side of the dividing panel; a pressure sensor located in said housing so as to be on the first side of the dividing panel, said pressure sensor sensing air pressure on the second side of the dividing panel via said through bore of said inlet arm and providing an electrical signal indicative of the sensed pressure; an electrical connector for providing an electrical connection to said pressure sensor within said housing; and a mounting substrate, said pressure sensor secured to said mounting substrate, said electrical connector including connector pins integrally formed with said substrate; wherein said crash pressure sensor further includes a watertight sealing member surrounding said pressure sensor and at least a portion of said mounting substrate to form a watertight seal around said pressure sensor while allowing fluid communications between said pressure sensor and said through bore of said inlet arm.
