Abstract: A low cost piezoresistive pressure transducer utilizing premolded elastomeric seals and adapted for automatic assembly, and a method of producing the transducer. A piezoresistive stress sensitive element in the form of a diaphram of semiconductor material having a thickened rim is held at its rim between a pair of premolded elastomeric seals in a thermoplastic housing. Electrical connections with external circuitry are made with strain relief jumpers which connect conductive regions on the element outside the seals to conductors which pass through the housing wall.
