Abstract:
1. A pressure sensor assembly comprising: a pressure sensor element to measure pressure of a fluid; pressure sensor circuitry coupled to the pressure sensor element to convert the pressure sensed by the pressure sensor element into an electronic signal; a base component, the base component including a hollowed volume at a first end in which to house the pressure sensor element and the pressure sensor circuitry, the base component including a port at a second end through which to receive the fluid, an inside wall of the first end of the base component including grooves; a connector component through which to convey the electronic signal from the pressure sensor circuitry to an external resource; and wherein at least a portion of the first end of the base component including the grooves is crimped inward to fixedly couple the connector component to the base component and retain the pressure sensor electronics and pressure sensor circuitry within the hollowed volume.
