  • Anti-slip grooves in a crimped pressure sensor assembly
    Patent number: 8365607
    Abstract: According to one configuration, a base component of a pressure sensor assembly includes a hollowed volume (e.g., chamber, bore, space, etc.) in which to house components such as a pressure sensor element and pressure sensor circuitry. Opposite an opening to the hollowed volume, the base component further includes a port through which to receive a fluid. An inside wall of the first end of the metallic base component includes grooves. The grooves can be created on the inner wall based on a metalworking operation known as broaching. To produce the pressure sensor assembly, at least a portion of the first end of the metallic base component including the grooves is crimped inward to fixedly couple a connector component to the metallic base component and retain the pressure sensor electronics and pressure sensor circuitry within the hollowed volume.
