  • Pressure measuring unit and connection unit for a motor vehicle transmission
    Patent number: 11668211
    Abstract: The example embodiment relates to a pressure measuring unit for determining the oil pressure in a motor vehicle transmission, including a circuit carrier, a pressure sensor, an electrical interface, a mechanical interface and a hydraulic interface. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to the circuit carrier by means of the electrical interface and mechanically connected to the circuit carrier by means of the mechanical interface on the first side of the circuit carrier. The hydraulic interface connecting the pressure measuring unit to a user hydraulic component is arranged on a side of the circuit carrier that is situated opposite the first side, and wherein an opening is arranged in the circuit carrier for pressure equalization between the pressure sensor and the hydraulic interface.
