Patent ID: 8505386

Claim:
A pressure sensor device comprising: a casing defining a chamber and an inlet passage of the chamber, a pressure sensor having a sensor body with a cavity and a membrane, the sensor body being accommodated in the chamber such that the membrane is susceptible to deformation under pressure of a fluid present in the inlet passage, a circuit arrangement to which the pressure sensor is electrically connected, the circuit arrangement including a circuit support at least partially accommodated in the chamber, wherein the sensor body is not rigidly associated to the casing and/or other parts of the device, and is mounted elastically or in a moveable manner with respect to the casing and/or to said other parts inside the chamber, wherein accommodated in the chamber is a positioning body, configured as a separate component with respect to the pressure sensor, to the circuit support and to the casing, the positioning body being at least partially interposed between the sensor body and the circuit support, wherein the circuit arrangement comprises an electric connector including connection terminals each having a first portion which is extended inside the chamber and a second portion which is extended outside the chamber and wherein operatively interposed between the first portion of the terminals and the circuit support are elastic contact elements, adapted to elastically press the circuit support onto the positioning body, wherein the positioning body is arranged in the chamber spaced apart from the first portion of the terminals and the elastic contact elements are configured and arranged to extend in a compression condition between the first portion of the terminals and the circuit support, and wherein the device further comprises a temperature sensor, electrically connected to the circuit support, for detecting a temperature of a fluid.
