Patent ID: 7284418

Claim:
A tire pressure sensor assembly, comprising: a printed circuit board comprising electronics for measuring tire pressure and for transmitting an electromagnetic signal related to tire pressure; a battery being located adjacent to the printed circuit board; the printed circuit board and battery are contained in a housing that allows the printed circuit board and battery to be oriented angularly with respect to each other, defining a low-profile tire pressure sensor assembly adapted to conform to a curved surface of a tire; the low-profile tire pressure assembly including a battery side adapted to house the battery and a printed circuit board side adapted to house the printed circuit board and a vertex dividing the printed circuit board side and the battery side; a valve stem for introducing air through a rim of the tire; and a terminal extending outwardly from and being attached to the printed circuit board in proximity to the vertex made of a high tensile material having an opening for coupling the printed circuit board to the valve stem, the terminal being coupled to the valve stem by positioning the valve stem through the opening, wherein the terminal is generally perpendicular to the printed circuit board and the terminal is generally perpendicular to the valve stem.
