Abstract:
1. A pressure transducer, comprising: a header having a top and bottom surface and having a plurality of terminal pins extending from said top surface to said bottom surface, a first circuit board having a top and bottom surface, with said bottom surface positioned on said top surface of said header, said first board having one aperture for each of said terminal pins located on said top surface with said associated aperture surrounding said associated pin, each of said apertures surrounded by a contact area with each contact area having an extending conductive arm directed toward the center of said board, a second circuit board having a top and bottom surface, with said bottom surface positioned on the top surface of said first board, said second board having a plurality of apertures located about the center of said second board and with each aperture positioned to overlie an associated conductive arm of said first board, a pressure sensor having an array of pressure responsive devices located thereon and having a top surface for receiving a pressure and a bottom surface positioned on said second board about the center thereof, said bottom surface having terminal pads associated with said array with each pad overlying an associated aperture of said second board, a conductive material deposited in said apertures of said second board to enable conductive contact to said terminal pads of said sensor said conductive material in each aperture contacting said associated extending conductive arm to thereby electrically connect each sensor pad to each of said header terminal pins.
