Abstract: A pressure sensor package (10) has a sensor body (12) for containing a pressure sensor. An elongated stem (14) has a first end connected to the sensor body (12), and a connector (24, 26) is disposed on a second end of the stem (14) for fixedly mounting the stem (14) to a mounting base (40), which is connected to, for example, a fuel tank (52). An annular sealing surface (28) is disposed on the first end of the stem (14) for pressing against a compressible seal (44) when the stem (14) is mounted to the mounting base (40), and an orifice (18) is disposed at the second end of the stem (14). The orifice 18 is connected to the pressure sensor by a passage (20, 22) through the stem body. The connector (24, 26) is spaced a sufficient distance from the sensor body (12) to substantially reduce error-inducing stresses on the pressure sensor.
