Patent ID: 6955088

Claim:
A pressure sensor ( 1 ) with a housing ( 2 ), a sensor device ( 4 ), a sensor fastening device for fastening the sensor device ( 4 ) onto and/or in the front area of the housing ( 2 ), and a seal ( 7 ) for sealing the transitional area between the housing ( 2 ) and the sensor device ( 4 ), where the housing ( 2 ) exhibits an inside housing wall ( 2 W) and the sensor device ( 4 ) exhibits an outside sensor device wall ( 4 W), such that the housing wall ( 2 W) and the sensor device wall ( 4 W) run in adjacent fashion one to the other and exhibit between the housing wall ( 2 W) and the sensor device ( 4 W) a reception space ( 6 ) for receiving the seal ( 7 ), wherein the sensor fastening device exhibits the reception space ( 6 ) and the seal ( 7 ), and the seal ( 7 ) between the housing wall ( 2 W, 2 W*) and the sensor wall ( 4 W) is mounted in such a way that the seal ( 7 ) creates an effective force (F) in the direction of the housing wall ( 2 W, 2 W*) and the sensor wall ( 4 W) and the two are braced against each other by the force (F).
