Abstract:
1. A pressure sensor comprising: at least three pins for carrying electric current, each pin including a first end and a second end, all of the first ends of the pins being arranged on a common plane, the second ends of at least two of the pins being disposed on the common plane and a second end of at least one of the pins, other than the two pins, being disposed on a second plane that is offset from the common plane, the second end of each pin being spaced apart from a second end of another pin substantially at an angle of 360/N, where N is the total number of pins, a printed circuit board (PCB) including at least three pin holes that are disposed apart substantially at the angle of 360/N, each pin hole receiving a second end of an associated pin in a press-fit arrangement, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) mounted on the PCB, a fuel port having an end disposed in an opening in the PCB, and a pressure sensing element mounted on the end of the fuel port.
