Patent ID: 8656786

Claim:
A pressure sensor unit sub-assembly for installation into a pressure sensor housing, wherein the pressure sensor housing includes a pressure port having a fluid path that extends from an external side of the pressure port, an electrical connector including a mechanical connector and two or more electrical terminals, and an outer housing extending between the pressure port and the electrical connector, with the pressure sensor unit sub-assembly disposed in a space defined by the pressure port, the electrical connector and the outer housing, the pressure sensor unit sub-assembly comprising: one or more pressure signal output terminals that, when the pressure sensor unit sub-assembly is installed in the pressure sensor housing, are electrically connected to selected electrical terminals of the electrical connector of the pressure sensor housing; a pressure input port that, when the pressure sensor unit sub-assembly is installed in the pressure sensor housing, is fluidly connected to the fluid path of the pressure port of the pressure sensor housing; a pressure sense element for sensing a pressure presented at the pressure input port of the pressure sensor unit sub-assembly, and for providing one or more electrical pressure output signals; the pressure sense element is secured relative to a first printed circuit board; the one or more pressure signal output terminals are supported by a second printed circuit board; and wherein the first and/or second printed circuit board includes circuitry that formats the one or more electrical pressure output signals provided by the pressure sense element into a particular output format, and when the pressure sensor unit sub-assembly is installed in the pressure sensor housing, provides the formatted one or more pressure output signals to the selected electrical terminals of the electrical connector of the pressure sensor housing.
