    Patent number: 5684336
    Abstract: A crash sensor assembly (10) includes a base (12). Mounted on the base (12) are an inertia sensor assembly (32) having an axis of sensitivity (40) and an accelerometer assembly (56) having an axis of sensitivity (64). The accelerometer assembly (56) is mounted such that its axis of sensitivity (64) is substantially parallel to the axis of sensitivity (40) of the inertia sensor assembly (32). The base (12) includes terminal supports (24, 26) which provide for physical mounting of and electrical connection to the inertia sensor assembly (32) and accelerometer assembly (56). A housing (32) sealingly engages with the base (12) to house and protect the inertia sensor assembly (32) and accelerometer assembly (56).
