Patent ID: 7162927

Claim:
A pressure sensor package which comprises: a) a housing having a first cavity and a second cavity within the housing, and a wall member separating the first cavity and the second cavity; b) a conductive elastomeric pad positioned within the first cavity; c) a pressure sensor positioned on the conductive elastomeric pad; d) an elastomeric media seal positioned on the pressure sensor; e) a pressure cap on the elastomeric media seal, which pressure cap is attached to the housing such that the pressure cap and the housing together form a hermetic seal which prevents the escape or entry of a gas through the hermetic seal; said pressure cap further having a port therethrough for admitting a gas under pressure into the first cavity; f) a signal amplifier positioned within the second cavity, and a cover on the second cavity which encloses the signal amplifier within the second cavity; g) an electrical connector through the wall member forming an electrical connection between the pressure sensor and the signal amplifier; h) a lead frame comprising a plurality of electrical connectors extending through the housing, said lead frame forming electrical connections with the pressure sensor and the signal amplifier.
