Abstract: An apparatus comprises a electronic assembly and a housing. The electronic assembly comprises a sensor module mounted on or encapsulated within a substrate. The housing generally has a sensor cavity configured to receive the electronic assembly, a connector cavity configured to connect with a wire harness connector, a wall separating the sensor cavity and the connector cavity, and a plurality of terminals having a first end extending from the wall into the sensor cavity and a second end extending from the wall into the connector cavity. The first end of each terminal is generally configured to form an electrical and mechanical connection with a respective conductive pad of the substrate. The wall separating the sensor cavity and the connector cavity generally comprises an overlap configured to set an amount of deflection experienced by the first end of each terminal when the electronic assembly is inserted in the sensor cavity.

Abstract: A system including a plurality of sensors and a control unit. The plurality of sensors may each comprise a communication device and be configured to monitor information corresponding to a vehicle, generate data signals in response to the information and communicate the data signals. The control unit may be configured to receive the data signals from each of the sensors, interpret the data signals, determine a corrective measure in response to the data signals and generate output signals. The communication device may implement wireless communication. The control unit may receive the data signals wirelessly. The wireless communication may enable the control unit to receive the data signals from the plurality of sensors asynchronously.
