Patent number: 10078028Abstract: A pressure sensor assemblage includes a housing and a pressure sensor received in an interior space of the housing. The housing has at least one gas inlet that is connected in gas-permeable fashion at least to a sub-region of the interior space of the housing. In addition, a sacrificial element is provided at the gas inlet, which element is disposed and implemented in such a way that gas flowing through the gas inlet comes into contact with a surface of the sacrificial element, which surface of the sacrificial element is provided with a silver layer. The sacrificial element has a carrier element made of an iodine- or iodide-resistant material.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2015Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Thomas Fessele, Masoud Habibi

Patent number: 7574921Abstract: A pressure sensor including a molded seal. With the aid of the molded seal the pressure sensor is held in place in an installation hole and seals the latter. The molded seal is attached to a sensor stem in a form locked manner. The molded seal is made of an elastic material and has, on its end facing away from the sensor head, a protrusion whose diameter exceeds the diameter of the installation hole. At least one annular recess is provided on the circumference of the sensor stem.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2007Date of Patent: August 18, 2009Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Thomas Fessele, Jan Gebauer, Marcell Ott
