  • Patent number: 6810746
    Abstract: A sensor arrangement has a housing, a pressure detector having a measuring diaphragm which is deflectable by a pressurized measurement medium, a sensor circuit attached directly to the measuring diaphragm, an electronic evaluation circuit connected to the sensor circuit and formed as a hybrid circuit, a connector contacted by an element selected from the group consisting of the sensor circuit, the evaluation circuit and both, the hybrid circuit being fastened directly to the measuring diaphragm by a conductive glue which produces electrical connections between the hybrid circuit and the sensor circuit fastened to the measuring diaphragm and produces a ground connection to the housing.

  • Publication number: 20030233881
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor arrangement with a pressure detector (6) that has a measuring diaphragm, which can be deflected by the pressurized measurement medium. A measuring bridge is provided as a sensor circuit, which is attached directly to the measuring diaphragm. An evaluation circuit is embodied as a hybrid circuit (8) and can be fastened directly to the measuring diaphragm, producing electrical connections (9, 10) between the hybrid circuit (8) and the sensor circuit and a ground connection to the housing (2, 3) of the sensor arrangement (1). The housing (2, 3, 4) of the sensor arrangement (1) is embodied as multi-part and the contacting of the connections of the hybrid circuit (8) with connector pins (11) of the connector (4) can be produced, for example, by means of pressure contacts (12, 13; 23).
