Patent ID: 8375778

Claim:
An engine control module, comprising: a housing; a circuit board enclosed within said housing and supporting control module circuitry, wherein said circuit board defines plated openings; an opening in the housing in alignment with said circuit board; and an air pressure sensor mounted on an inboard face of said housing about said opening, said air pressure sensor including, a body portion sealingly secured to the inboard face of said housing, a sensing element mounted in a recess formed on an inboard face of said body portion, a riser portion extending outboard of said body portion and protruding through said opening, a central axial bore extending through said body and riser portions to couple said sensor element to atmospheric air pressure outside the housing, and a set of inwardly-depending conductive terminals that engage said circuit board and electrically couple said sensing element to said control module circuitry, wherein said conductive terminals have compliant terminations received in said plated openings to provide a solderless electrical coupling between said conductive terminals and said circuit board.
